Racial & Ethnic Inequality

Last summer, i was working in a restaurant. Here is a manager who is white. But i am an Asian. My other friends are also Hispanic and African American. Also there are some working white people. Most of workers are student. Those white people didn't talk to us very much; they avoid the black people most of the time. They didn't like them. We talked about this with the manager but, he didn't take any step; he ignored us as well. This situation is very hurtful and for that reason i quit this job. This type of racial inequality always wound me.
