Damn! You have pluck - I have to hand it you.
It takes rare individuals to keep trying - for the betterment of all. My hat is definitely off to you.
Unfortunately, there is still the covert racism among the asylum seekers. They might put on that face of "happy to see you" and "thank you so much", while they are racist to the core.
But!
You never know, you may come across those souls who REALLY do appreciate you and what you do for them - and that alone makes up for all the idiot racists you've encountered.
Good luck on your continued journey Rebecca - may all the winds of fortune favor you.
