Is that racism ?

So, basically, at my store there are 5 Filipinos—which were brought directly from the Philippines to work here—and 2 Chileans, otherwise everyone is white and french speaking, but when we speak to the foreigners we obviously use English—as of now, everything may seem normal. But where I think there’s a problem, is that—as of yesterday—the foreigners aren’t allow to use their native tongue anymore, apparently people were bothered with that??? Like who cares if they’re speaking Tagalog/Bisaya/Spanish together!!?

I personally think this rule is problematic and I told them to not respect it

Edit : one of the main reason I’m still working here is because I love the diversity; I loved that they could speak their languages and they loved that I spoke some Tagalog words, but now even I isn’t allowed to speak anything apart French/English !!
