No, it's more than just words. Would you want to participate in a profession where roughly 50% of your colleagues go behind your back to spew outright hatred at your ethnic group? Do you think you have a right to know about such behavior?

Do you have any empathy at all for those on the other side of this?


I’ve heard worse to my face and I’ve shrugged it off. And not across countries mind you, in my home country itself.
