I'm muslim, brown and middle eastern. No, my name isn't actually Joe as my username suggests.



He normally intends these comments as something humourous but sometimes he is serious too. Neither is comfortable. Some examples I remember below:



  1. about my friend "Was he a terrorist?". This is the latest one and it really got me thinking.

  2. nearly every day at lunch "Are you fasting today?". Muslims fast for the month of Ramadan and sometimes outside, but we don't fast everyday and we're probably not fasting while we are eating lunch.

  3. about a certain family members career "Are they a doctor?"

  4. To me "Do you like bacon?" or some variation where I'm eating pork. Muslims generally don't eat pork and he asks this quite frequently.

  5. paraphrasing here "middle eastern countries are backwards and oppressive".

I'm afraid if I complain it'll reflect in my performance review as my manager is the one who alone does it. I'm the only brown and Muslim person at my work, so it'll be obvious I reported it.



I'm also contemplating simply leaving. My last manager was a racist too, but only on occasion (like a couple times a year, she'd make a comment). Here, I'm faced with this nearly every day and while I didn't mind it too much at first, it's gotten to the point where I'm not comfortable anymore.



Any practical suggestions would be helpful.
