There's been a few people over the course of my career that I felt like haven't been the nicest and don't really treat most of their coworkers with the respect they deserve. I try my best to block those types of people out, but it does get frustrating sometimes.

I have worked with some characters who I'm sure had a screw loose. There was never anything really obvious, but they had some behavioral quirks that went beyond being a fun eccentric and made me think they were capable of some malicious behavior. And there were others who just seemed to harbor odd grudges and grievances. It takes all kinds, I suppose, but it's important to be able to navigate around some characters you run into.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace?

I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
