Since I started worked at this company, I realized that was a certain competition between me, same nationality as the company, and other Americans. The rules that applied to the American nationals never applied to me, a South American national. Things were getting ugly, but I was the last one to be hired and I couldn't find another job, and being here by myself, I had to shut up and do the best I could. I always had to do more than it was expected of me, and was never appreciated. Because of the harassment, my job quality was as good as before, I was completely unmotivated and on my review, my boss only said negative things about my work. Just one detail - 65% of the English he learned was taught by me and I was never compensated by it. The day I decided to quit was because my co-worker was cleaning my desk and rearranging my furniture without my permission, because she said it would look nicer and that I wasn't as organized as I should be. I decided to quit.

Unfortunately, there's nothing against the law about being an absolute jerk.
A lot of managers "clean house" this way, making the workplace unbearable, so they can make room for the people they want to employ.

You could claim "constructive discharge" to file for Unemployment Insurance. However, if you plan to sue for harassment you should check with your local labor board. If they feel there is a case they will take the case. However, if they feel there is not enough evidence and you still wish to pursue legal remedies you will have to hire a lawyer.

Keep in mind suing a former employer is a very long and lengthy process, not to mention expensive. You will need considerable assets. You will have to ask self is this really worth it or is it better just to move on.

Theoretically you can, but it could cost you a lot of time and money, particularly if you lose the case. You might have to walk away, hold your head high and find an employer who appreciates what you can do.
