It feels like a countdown. Even though no school has confirmed they'll hire me, I already don't want the school year to start. I don't want to deal with racist, selfish teachers who think they're better than me because I don't speak their language perfectly or because I look different. They judge me before they know anything about me. They decide I'm stupid, uneducated, uncivilized, or incapable without ever giving me a chance. The worst ones aren't always the people who are openly hostile. Sometimes they're the ones who pretend to be kind. They help you, but not because they respect you. They help because they've already decided you're beneath them. They pity you. In their minds, you're always the one who's wrong because how you dare to have brain . They never stop to question themselves or their own prejudice. They act superior because of where they were born, the language they speak, or the way they look. That arrogance is just another face of racism. I hate working in USA really
