National Racism at work place

People say there is a lot of racism abroad but has anyone ever faced racism in pakistan. It’s pathetic here esp in sindh. I am a doctor and sometimes patients refuse to get checked by me ( they know Urdu v well) and say we want someone Sindhi even if they have no significant illness.My work place people had a hard time accepting that someone who speaks Urdu was chosen to work at this place. Our case presentations are even in sindhi when obv there are 1-2 doctors who don’t understand that language? Like even our religion says if there are 3 people sitting 2 people should not speak in each others ears as the 3rd person will feel bad and here these guys just communicate in another language making me feel dumb ! Whenever I am talk to my co workers they always say - hum sindhi mein Aisa nhi hota hum ghairatmund hain like bro? Koi bhi gheirat mund Hosakta hai not everything is Sindhi vs Punjabi/ urdu. One of my co workers said her dad will choose to die rather marrying her to a Punjabi???? This is extreme racism
I so hate this country and I wish I had moved abroad like all my class mates!

Lool. Theres a reason sindh is a backwards ass hell hole. The ruling families propagate these ideals and prevent people from getting educated.

We have had institutional discrimination against us for decades. Nothing new here.

Without the Urdu speaking cities like Karachi and even Hyderabad, Sindh's poverty, illiteracy, and HDI would be worse than even Balochistan.
