from the statment below explan why workplace discrimination is not ok   in the past, I worked for a medical facility. I was discriminated because of my age. I was only working at the facility for a few weeks, so I was still growing used to the patients. I did not have any issues previously however that changed when a patient was assigned to me that was not particularly thrilled. This patient refused for me to administer treatment because of my assumed age. I was no child, but I could understand how I may look very young due to my short height. I am very understanding but this patient was very rude and had a colorful vocabulary. When this patient heard me speaking in Spanish, it caused more issues. A flurry of prejudice remarks followed suit. I was told I was too young and to speak English like a ‘normal American’.
