I've often called him up on it and have made management aware of the situation but I'm generally ignored so these days I go out of my way to be super helpful to her and a bit of a nasty person to the other engineer. Childish I know but it gets me through the day.
If that happened here (Uni) she would be straight off to the EEO dept and the engineer would be in plenty of hot water. With the number of foreign academics, techs and of course students any form of racism is just not an option.
