I live by the 'ignorant people who don't want help can't be helped'.
I don't see a terrible amount of racism. I work for first-generation immigrants from Cambodia and Laos who employ mainly Cambodian, Ecuadorian, and Mexican staff and we all get a long great. The language barrier is substantial sometimes but there's no problems. I'm thankful I don't have a boss like prior food jobs I've had where they think because I'm white, I want to hear their racist remarks. I usually respond with something non-confrontational like "I love my mexican ladies." and walk away.
However, in Willmar, the shithole town I'm originally from, the racism was abundant. Our Somali refugees and Mexican laborers were segregated to the dirty old buildings downtown. They open up their great little bakeries and restaurants, and the white rednecks steer clear of them.
