Racist customer demanded we fire and replace our employees with white American employees even though we are an immigrant owned business

I mean I've got to just say this off the bat it doesn't matter if you're an immigrant owned business or not

Demanding that you fire and replace employees with white American employees is crazy

Anyway, let's get into the story. Okay, I am a 28-year-old

woman and I live here in Colorado, but my family and I emigrated here to the States from the former

Yugoslavia, with my mother being Serbian and my dad being Montenegrin. My dad owns his own renovation

business, which he was inspired to set up after watching the TV show Home Improvements.

And even though I have my own full-time job, I do casual work for my dad's business, mainly doing office admin and payroll stuff.

My dad has two employees, both of whom are Filipino.

And one day, we had a customer who booked a job and my dad sent his two employees

to go to the customer's house only for the customer to turn them away, telling them to leave.

My dad's worker, who I will call Miguel, texted me to say that the client told them to leave.

So I just assumed that they changed their mind and wanted to cancel the job. However, literally a few minutes after the text from Miguel, I received a call from the customer, who I will call Ken,

who angrily complained about having two Chinese employees come over to his place, complained about them stealing jobs from white men,

and actually demanded that we fired them,

replaced them with white employees, and send over an employee who is white and not an immigrant.

I pretty much knew how this conversation was going to play out, but I decided to just roll with it

and tell him that those two Asian men were our only employees

and that our business is an immigrant-owned business, as my dad and I are both immigrants from

Montenegro. Ken then demanded that we at least send over an employee who is white, and I told him

it makes no difference if the employee is white or not. As the fact that my family and I are

European makes us not really different to immigrants from the Philippines, white or not. As the fact that my family and I are European makes us not really different to immigrants
