    You may be intelligent but you have to admit, many of your minimum wage colleagues are not. I have encountered many dim-witted staff over the years. While it may be tempting to lazily assume all minimum wage workers are not bright, it is not accurate or acceptible. Those who treat you as stupid would just prefer stereotypes to make their life easier.

    I doubt you could come up with one religion that would satisfy all Christians, much less all people. There is too much diversity in the world for that to happen. But religion does seem to be a need for many if not most. Without predefined answers to life's mysteries some would feel lost. The best we can hope for are varied religions that all have as a common denominator, civil rights, good will, and tolerance.

    In my 15 yrs of business I have hired, trained, and assessed many. All people are different regardless of race or gender, and have varying degrees of skill. Even with the same education level. There could be several reason for your treatment. He/She may in fact be prejudice, if they are you will not change them. Or, because they are a different race or gender they do not give you equal treatment because they are not comfortable with someone they do not relate with (which is no excuse). Or perhaps they are just giving you work they know you will passively accept. Your superviser should recognize your skills and should make opportunities available to you to further your career. Discuss with them getting new opportunites and more responsibility. If nothing improves you should leave (be sure to have another job lined up). Dont waist your time at a dead end. Ignorant managers can hold you back. Dont settle for it. There are better jobs out there where racism doesnt exist. Personally I like a diverse work group - more variety of food at the Christmas pot luck :)
