Immigrant Is Rudely Rejected From a Job Application, So His Daughter Made HR Pay for It

5His daughter decided to retaliate through social media

This annoyed Huynh’s daughter Emily who uploaded the email exchange on twitter. The aggression angered many and sparked of a viral debate. The twitter community stood in solidarity with Minh but the email is a stark reminder of the ugly face of discrimination that is rampant among so called educated people like Peterson.

6He could have affected the man psychologically

Given the fact that if you are living in North America, you need to speak and learn English to get by and communicate but, you shouldn’t be discriminated because of it. Peterson’s response was unnecessary and showed a lack of character as well as professionalism. It could well have degraded Minh and destroyed the man’s confidence in attempting to apply for other jobs.

7Certain companies resort to micro-aggression

In a message to NextShark, Emily said that her father was not offended by the comment in the same manner many immigrants are wont to do because they don’t realize the context and severity of such remarks. Emily was disgusted by the comment which proves how companies are accustomed to using micro-aggressions which is becoming a cause for concern as to the future treatment of citizens and borders on discrimination.

8Emily’s post

“My dad told me that he isn’t that ‘hurt’ by it, but there’s a big stigma around Asian immigrant parents that deal with this all the time. They brush it off because they don’t understand the depth of the situation. People always use micro aggressions with or without knowing they do which is a big concern when it comes to the treatment of future citizens. I’m just disgusted,” Huynh said.
