Racist encounter sypport

...See more Hello, I really don't know where to start, today I had a bad encounter with a racist, and believe me, in my life a had a handful of them, but this one stings the most, so basically I am an expat, living and working in another country, today I had to do a meeting call outside on the street, witch was long, while I was talking I was walking up and down the street, a racist native in a shop got annoyed of me, he went out start shouting, physically pushed me to the road, and shouted some racist slurs, I was in the meeting and I didn't know how to react, I cannot confront anyone physically since I am literally very weak, so I ignored ot and carried out, I finished my work and decided to go to his shop, and try to clear things, so I went in, greeted him, told him I am not looking for problems, I just wanted to clear things and carry on, like most racist he shouted in his own language, demanded that I talk like him, demanded that I never walk on the pavement near his shop, and said in clear words "I will hit you in case I saw you again and there is nothing you can do about it so take your *** and go away", now the region I am in has no rules, there are no one to talk to nor someone to complaint to, no police, and no major harm was done, I am just angry and crying, his shop is near where I work, and I really feel defeated, I will say again, it's not the first time I meet racist people, but this one stings the most, I tell myself that I did what I was raised to do, but it's not helping, i just can't fathom how a person can act like this and still be proud, I need someone to talk to, I need to forget, sorry I took a lot of your time
