Make a complete (and confidential -- do not tell anyone you are doing it or leave it in the place of business) diary of everything that is going on day by day, who said what or did what, etc. Write down in a separate record what went on up to now, as memories fade with time, and what you remember now is more accurate than what you'll remember later. Be as specific as you can about what occurred, when and by whom. And get to a lawyer who does employment discrimination.
