I have no words

I'm really disappointed and angry right now. That promotion; I didn't get it. Though of the applicants, I was probably the best choice, it was given to someone else. I was taken into the Superintendent's office and he explained it to me.

It all boils down to one thing.

I'm Okinawan. I'm Okinawan and the other applicants were Tokyo born.

He told me that no one would take me seriously because of that one thing.

It doesn't matter that I have JSDF service and a great arrest record. It doesn't matter that I do my job well and that I can lead a team. Because of my island roots, no one will respect me or listen to me if I were promoted at this time. Maybe next time, after I've proved myself more.

So that's how it is. I have to prove myself? Fine with me. I'll show that closed minded idiot what an islander can do. Next time, I won't get passed over.

That fucking ass! I'd volunteer to kick it, if I didn't know it would make matters only worse. Isn't there anything you can do. Isn't this discrimination at the workplace, there's got to be laws against that!

This has to be a fucking joke. The idiot he picked is a slacker. I'm going to go have words with him. This can't be how he handles things. If it is, I'm taking my efforts elsewhere.

If you need I can help you with bribery next time. Not that it's okay to do that or anything but what in the actual fuck. That's so screwed up.

Ahn? Choosing the second best based on faulty personal opinion is bad business. How ridiculous.

[ooc: There might be an upsurge in positive Okinawan presence in dramas, CMs and documentaries in the next few months. Not saying who would do such a thing, of course.]
