I am a female Asian American civilian employee who works for a sheriff’s department in California. My experience at work has been marked by discrimination, bullying, racism, retaliation, workplace violence, and an overall lack of acknowledgement and protection from my supervisors.

A coworker looked at me and said, “Well that’s great. Can you tell me what breed of dog we’re eating?”

“How amazing you are to manage an entire school’s technology support on a regular day, let alone when the entire school goes online. I appreciate your deep calm and positive attitude to help all the students thrive. We are so thankful for all the work you are doing to make this experience not just possible, but positive, for all of the students” note from School Administrator/Parent

I struggled to make sense of the word…CHINK.

When I was in middle school, I had a crush on a boy in my grade. He sat near me during lunchtime, fooling around with his friends and fiddling with a DYMO label maker that made white embossed black labels.

he typecast me into two roles: the quiet, passive, calculating, secretive Asian or the fire-breathing Japanese dragon.

I sat at my desk, staring at my computer screen in disbelief, unable to utter a single word, as my boss had just spewed some of the most racist, inappropriate and unprofessional comments I have ever heard. It had been over two years since I started working at this predominantly white institution, and I had never felt more unseen and unheard. The traditional leaders held all the power, and anyone who fell on the margins, particularly people of color, didn’t stand a chance.

With the manager away, a coworker harshly told me to “go back to my country.”

I grew up in the welcoming diversity of Hawaii but made the fateful decision 34 years ago to move to South Carolina when my husband was stationed here. After our divorce, I chose to remain, even turning down an offer from my Hawaiian boss to return home. It was the worst choice I ever made.

I’m looking for a few more white hairs in my enterprise sales leader.

Because of my complexion as a mixed Asian woman, she called me hurtful nicknames like Pocahontas, Sacagawea, and Jasmine

I was one of the few tan-skinned Asian American women at my workplace, which had a diverse staff of mostly minorities. From day one, I faced endless microaggressions and outright racism from my manager.

When you remain silent, you allow others to tell your story.
