Yes, it is a stigma that we cannot get rid of, we must live with it. In my case, the German who offended me is someone known here on hive, and I decided not to mention his name because I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself (also other episodes happened around that, which were very unpleasant, he was treating me aggressively and rude for a while, until I told her to stop (I have the conversations to prove it). What I want to say is that those who have a certain reputation and power here in hive should lead by example and not rely on their power to hurt others.
Things of life.
