I find it unlikely since the decision is up to OP's former employer (his racist boss). Concerning the topic of burning bridges, I thinks it's obvious they're already burned due to racism. In the U.S. at least, there's zero tolerance for that behavior but I can understand if that's not the case elsewhere. As I stated in the 2nd part of my answer- OP may well decide it's not worth the effort to defend himself and hope he gets a good reference anyway. | |

He'll accuse you of vindictiveness and trying to undermine him, which will lead to a bad reference for you. (It happened to me when I complained to HR of my boss using abusive/threatening language to me and my coworkers. The problem is that it's a cultural thing at that particular company. It is how the CEO deals with his subordinates and them with theirs; they don't see anything wrong with it.) | |
