Kinda sounded retorical..
But I can give an answer, it's unfortunate, because no matter how much money you earn, how shiny the jets are, it's really the people you work with that matter day to day.
If you're not included in conversation if your language is not quite up to scratch or you look a bit different, it will sting every time.
I would call that unfortunate, even if you'd call it 'normal', or is it 'normaal?'
