I am projecting racism? I am a minority. And all the stereotypes about my race aren't positive. Ha! On a serious note, if it isn't racism, there's definitely an unfair bias in that sense. This is beyond tagalog, Manny Pacquiao, and pancit. I have take illegal and unethical action to gain their acceptance. I've acted as their mule and scapegoat, at one point. You cannot say I never tried. I want my soul back. I need a new beginning. There's no winning here.

Before an African American coworker of mine quit, she told me I should complete a year and leave the hospital because the people in power are racists. I didn't think anything of it, at first. I was a new graduate three months in. I'm probably going to receive heat over this thread. All you have is my word that I am not a bigot. There is a strong Filipino presence on my unit. The favoritism among their own has no bounds. For example: There is no balance in the assignments, favoring the Filipino nurse. The distributions are unsafe, but ignored. I reported two Filipino nurses once for trying to conceal an event and was retaliated, against. Yes, there was harm done to the patient. A 3rd Filipino nurse told me "We cover each other, here. If you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us." A (recently promoted) non-Filipino charge nurse was stripped of her CN title because she wasn't Filipino. Apparently, "they" spoke to the director in mass and demonstrated their disapproval. She quit two weeks later, before I was able to ask WHY/WHAT transpired. I am not the only person who notices, as eight nurses have left. All new graduates and non-Filipino. I have been here about a year, now. My two week notice is in the works. I live in Northern California and only hope my new work environment is different. Had to get this off my chest.
