A Human Resources manager—you know, the person you're supposed to go to if someone in your office did something racist—got fired for doing something racist.

Emily Huynh, an 18-year-old in Seattle, shared a disrespectful, degrading email her dad got from a prospective employer.

Non-English speakers really have it hard bc my dad just got rejected from this job offer and the email literally stated “Let me tell you now, if you no speak English I will send you Home-“ Wtf.. + all of Bruce’s emails we’re also very unprofessional & passive aggressive pic.twitter.com/YDXNHVW7bH

Bruce Peterson, the now-former HR manager/Hiring manager for Dash Delivery LLC, responded in an email to Mr. Huynh:

Let me tell you know, if you no speak English, I will send you home-

Jeez. Emily tweeted that a professional (nay, a person) shouldn't talk to another person in such a manner.

I understand that the job requires English but his email(s) could’ve been handled way more professionally. This email was gross, unnecessary and degrading.

Emily's father, Minh Huynh, immigrated to America in 1995 and owned a restaurant before working as an overnight truck driver for 13 years. According to Next Shark, Mr. Huynh was laid off after being unable to get a certain license on time. For the past two years, he's been working day and night to try and find work, using Google Translate when he needs to.

Emily also shared her father's reaction.

Update: My dad isn’t that hurt, he just doesn’t fully understand the concept of someone not hiring him for his lack of English when he has more experience than most people. pic.twitter.com/xa2DA9kn7h

Correction: to everyone that says Chinese isn’t a language, I meant Cantonese. He’s Vietnamese but speaks canto to my mom :)))

Emily's tweet went viral and people with immigrant parents shared how they can relate.

My dad's an immigrant who had a lot of trouble finding a job in America because of the Bruces of the world, and he's an engineer who had a Bachelor's. My dad even had to work overseas at one point. It's so sad when people don't realize how they hurt others this way.

As someone whose mom has come home crying because her coworkers were relentlessly mocking and making fun of her accent, this seriously breaks my heart and I want to break Bruce’s face https://t.co/EDshGhSTzX

My moms English isn’t perfect either and seeing this makes me want to cry. You can file a lawsuit which you guys should!

Immigrants are the foundation of this country! It's a shame your father was discriminated against during his job search @staleboba. My dad is also a hardworking immigrant & self taught English speaker. This is why it is important to have POC in HR and Recruiting industries! https://t.co/ABlNib8Juw

This thread made me have very deep feelings. My mother is an immigrant and has been an American citizen my whole life, if any of her prior employers ever spoke to her like this I'd be furious. I'm happy your dad is positive/forgiving + things are looking up @staleboba https://t.co/hcTbCRRo2y

The Huynhs' story was shared on the website Next Shark, and Mr. Huynh was overwhelmed by the amount of support he's received. Finally, the internet is good for once!

Emily also shared an update from her dad, who's grateful for the support but working hard to move on with daily English lessons.

Check up: Even though we appreciate all the encouragement to make it a law suit, my dad has forgiven and wants to move on. He says he doesn’t want to be confrontational, what happened has happened. Btw this is my dads notebook he keeps near his laptop, he teaches himself daily :) pic.twitter.com/0tWFl5H9Hx

And the family got an apology from Peterson himself.

Take a lesson from Mr. Huynh: learn from your mistakes and your ignorance.

Update: Bruce himself has apologized with an email stating that he understand his wrong-doings and he begged for forgiveness. My dad forgives him and just hopes that people learn from their ignorance. pic.twitter.com/6OZWN7sxES

Emily told BuzzFeed that since the tweet went viral, her dad has received numerous job offers.

She also said that her dad wants to thank the internet for their support, and that she was grateful to "to shine a light to this serious problem of workplace discrimination."
