A Vietnamese father was discriminated against during his job search. Why? Simply because his potential employer assumed he couldn't speak English well enough to do the job. This incident touched close to home. As a fellow immigrant, my family also moved to the U.S. in the 1990s. They didn't speak English then. Today, they still rely on my siblings and I to help them translate every now and then. Their early employers saw beyond their language barrier and gave them a chance in America so that they can support their family, my family. It's heart breaking to see discrimination like this still prevalent in America. As a second language learner, English, especially writing has always been one of my biggest insecurities. Not because I didn't write well, but simply because I wasn't a native speaker. I've been blessed to have mentors and managers who provided the support and affirmation to help me get over this imposter syndrome. For immigrants and second language speakers out there, be confident in your command of the English language. But more importantly, always help out your parents. Super proud of Emily Huynh for helping her dad out throughout this ordeal! …see more
