Easy: ridicule.

Example: the movie director Mel Brooks is Jewish, and wanted to make a movie that would make Hitler look foolish. Instead of doing a serious movie, showing his blunders in battle strategy, he did a movie where Hitler was the butt of jokes.

You should add more details. What kind of problem are you having? What do these people say? That way, we can give you ammunition to counter it.

READ THIS!!!
When Arnold Schwarzennegger had only been in the U.S. for a few years, he still had a very, very thick Austrian accent, which perhaps made him sound a bit unintelligent. It sounded gutteral.

After winning the Mr. Universe contest, he was on the Dick Cavett show. The host was making fun of Arnold, and the audience thought it was very funny. However, when Dick Cavett asked Arnold, "How does it feel to be someone people say is all brawn and no brains?", Arnold replied "How does it feel to be NEITHER?"

Instantly, the audience LOVED Arnold. Their opinion of him changed 100% in one second. He used ridicule to great advantage.

Attacking Hitler with criticism would not have been nearly as effective as subtle (or overt) ridicule.

Humor can diffuse even tense situations. Ridicule makes the other person look foolish, and hence he will be afraid to try to make fun of you, because your replies make him look like an idiot.

Examples:

Hater: You've got a really funny accent.
You: Well, that comes with speaking so many languages. How many do YOU know?

Hater: Why can't you just order fast food like the rest of us?
You: Well, they say your body is a temple, and fast food eaters look like a big round Buddist temple, so... no, thanks!

Hater: That's not how we do things here.
You: Maybe that's why they hired ME. :))

I would try to change the subject when they start going off about their hate. Still have to work with that person right? well, divert their attention away from hating and talk about other things, mostly related to the task at hand, keep them busy. And if they start spewing hatred, kindly tell them that it isnt appropriate or professional and that hey "we have to work together here lets make it as pleasant as possible". If the person is otherwise doing their job and not acting out, then they are just a co worker.

I'll answer this two ways since you neglected to say whether your are legal or illegal. Real quick if your illegal you haft to put up with it or quit! Sorry, but there are no labor laws that cover the treatment of illegals!
If your legal, and can prove the harassment, go to your supervisor and tell him or her that you intend to seek legal representation because of the problem and the companies failure to deal with it!
Then do so, even if they fire you as long as you have the proof of harassment you'll come out on top!
There are laws that protect you from this!!
Take Care!

What a horrid subject! that's gloomy to understand that such numerous human beings nonetheless think of like this. Did the mum and dad understand which you're wiccan earlier she got here to artwork there, or is your faith uncomplicated understanding at artwork? i'm merely a great deal shocked that she could be allowed to artwork with an "evil devil worshiper". If her mum and dad are so brainwashed to tell their baby which you will hex, or poison her I dont understand their letting her be in any touch with you. i in my opinion sense sorry for the girl in all this. She might desire to be terrified of you! My suggestion is to easily go away issues on my own. proceed to act as you many times could if she have been all people else. Be severe high quality, communicate to her as you are able to the different co-worker. in line with probability she would be able to be sure which you're no longer the demon her mum and dad paint you to be. yet once you attempt to communicate to her approximately it, i'm specific it is going to reason worry. Thats a undeniable way for her to declare which you are attempting to "very own" her or another nonsense. vivid reward

i now what your talking about. i work with haters to. just because i don't think illegals have any rights they are harassing me about it. the bad thing is they are white who are harassing me over it. they say illegal and legal is the same. i couldn't take it any more and told them they need to get educated on the matter and they was uneducated ignorant white trash. no immigrants or illegals work where i work, nothing but blacks and whites. take it to the big man and if that don't work get a lawyer. i could careless if i get fired from my job, but they will now I've been there when i get done.

Do your job.

Make sure the boss knows about the problem.

Ask questions that pertain to the job.

If you are wearing clothing that sparks negative attention,
stop.

If you have bumper stickers and flags on your car/truck that spark negative attention, stop.

Ask yourself: What am I doing that sparks the negativity?

If some light hearted humor does not stop the hate then ask the trade union to take legal action.

There aren't as many of these people around contrary to what some people think. Isolation works with the few that you do run into.

I would need more information to give you an answer. How severe is the problem? Who? What? Where? When? We need to know what the actual problem is.
