I work with Latin Americans who felt excluded when we talk in Tagalog, so we are aware and we call each other out. I heard these french speakers have their share of complaints too (was told they are sensitive), so it is funny that they want us to be conscious of how we deal with them and I see them behave like that.

Planning to write to their line managers because I don't want them to keep doing it and get away (I heard the same guy was rude to a company driver once). I don't want it normalized. Not in this company.

You don't want me on the same elevator with you, in my country? Of all people who will do that, the colored ones. Fudge that.

i guess you can attribute that to the lasting imprint of apartheid.

and i agree - best if you call out their behavior through management, colored or otherwise.
