Probably it's not because of different nationalities. People at consulates tend to behave like that sometimes even to people from their own country. The bad thing is that they're the only one who can give you the visas. No matter how bad they behave, you have to tolerate if you want it. If this happens in a supermarket, we can just go to another supermarket. I feel that some of them behave like this because they feel secured in their job. They don't have to care for others' feeling.
