Get out of there before she does!!  Unfortunately, California is an "at will" state ... meaning she doesn't have to have just cause to fire you.

I used to get called a prarrie nig&er racism is ignorance in the first degree! Be proud of who you are and file a complaint with your employer and see if this qualifies for harrassment, maybe get a restraining order agasnt her!

Dont hide it...If your boss finds out screw him..if you get fired then find another job cuz that one wasn't worth having in the first place. Nobody can tell you who to and not to date.

Be frank with them and tell them to grow up! Tell them that you are an adult and can speak to whom ever you please. Let them know that they are also putting unneeded stress on you at work and that is not fair to you.\nThe problem they have are between the two of them and they need to quit bringing you in the middle of it. Tell them you aren't going to stand for it any longer...end of discussion.\nIf necessary, go to management about it. If they get upset about it, tell them that you didn't know what else to do and that you deserve to come to work without having to deal with their crap.

Just let her rant and rave. I'm sure you're doing an excellent job, so keep it up. Show your boss through your deeds that you are a valuable employee, and you have nothing to worry about. If your boss wants to confide in you, they will. Until then, do your job to the best of your ability and let that womans voice just drift off into the background. Every work place has them....unfortunately.

Set the mf up.  Make up something outrageous and when your boss asks you about it just laugh it off.  Keep doing that and he/she will either stop or get fired.

hmmm...that's a tough one, I think I would want to tell her too, but that could cause big problems for your place of business...maybe talk to your manager about it and let him know your concern that even though no one likes this lady, that's just not right

Your boss has no rights to tell anyone about your condition to coworkers or customers.  You can take legal action against him and the company.

This would depend upon the supervisor, the type of discrimination and the company.\nIf the supervisor is open and a “people person,” you can approach him or her directly.  If the supervisor is a company stooge, by all means avoid this.\nIf the discrimination is about something very minor, it will probably do no good to complain.  Usually these items get placed under “sour grapes” or “disgruntled employee” and nothing happens except a black mark in your records.  If the item is major, consider carefully all of the consequences before becoming a “whistle blower.”\nUsually you will need the help of a lawyer specializing in labor law.

Just come right out and ask your boss if there is a problem and tell her exactly what you've told us.  It is only fair that you should know what is going on at work.  This way you won't have to sit and wonder and make yourself crazy and it's not fair to be treated that way at work.

I think it is not wrong.  Your boss would have no problem complaining about your performance.  I think you should talk to your boss about your issues and document in a notebook the date/time/response of the conversation.  Sometimes the incompetent ones set u up to be fired!

The stock answer is that the law in this matter should cut both ways. Rea;ity is that this is not always the case. Some will find it hard to believe that any man can be offended by the actions you describe, so be ready for some flack if you go through with filing a complaint. Realize that to make your position unassailable that you should first let your boss know that you find her actions totally inappropriate. If she persists drive on and do what you have to do.

Just tell her the truth and if she begins to go off, just leave.  You don't have to worry about seeing her anymore if you quit so who cares what she thinks.  Or you can stand your ground and when she begins to go off just say, "Look!  This is exactly why I am quitting.  I deserve to be treated with respect and any manager that runs a respectable business would know that it is inappropriate to humiliate an employee in front of other coworkers.  As for you constantly accusing me of theft without any proof...some people would consider this harassment and grounds for your dismissal."  That should shut her up.  Good luck.  I've had one too many bosses the same way.

Well at nineteen you still have alot to learn. But if someone is truly practicing discrimination or rascism report it , then file a complaint with a civil liberties group. Or get a lawyer. But too many people use it as an excuse for poor performance and a lousy work ethic. If you are truly doing a great job,write out why you should get a raise and be promoted and bring it to your boss to discuss it in an assertive and respectful way. Not aggressive way or whiny way. Good Luck.

There is a book I bought a long time ago called "Coping with Difficult People" which is like dealing with difficult people. You can buy it at any bookstore under the self-improvement section. Also, talk with your boss and maybe he can resolve your problems you may have with a co-worker. Don't worry, we've all been there. I sympathize with you. However, just a suggestion, you may not want to use that kind of language on Yahoo Answers.

Favoritism is very very annoying. Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it, just bite the bullet. If it is going on in the work place, maybe you can talk to someone in your human resources department and maybe you can be moved to another team. (if that is possible). \n\nI know your frustration. I have seen it myself. It hurts and I felt like I was given the crap tasks . I felt like I was almost being discriminated against. :S \n\nGood luck. Be yourself and try to hang in.
