Like earlier last year, the (husband) (Thai) restaurant owner said something in the back to my one (Chinese from China) ex-coworker, and he was upset afterwards, and you could see tears actually forming at the edges of his eyes, he was so angry and so distraught from what the boss had said to him.
And, I didn't get into it with him, but I said that the boss was sometimes like that and that I just let it roll off my back, etc., but multiple people were **shocked** when I told them that story, when I was considering quitting and ultimately did quit.
It was just that abnormal to them, where I had been normalized into accepting and excusing that behavior from an employer, although perhaps in that particular case it was in part due to my not observing the actual interaction between them and not knowing exactly what went on, although that said, there's no reason anyone should come away feeling like that after an interaction with someone.
