He gave me a New job , a New titel and I've been at it for two weeks and he seems very critical of me and called me sloppy and that i work too fast but when i see his feedback his feedback seems very harsh and a bit of bullying. Im the only minority in the office and this makes me feel like there is an underlying issue. He seems very harsh on me and easy on them.
Boss says im sloppy?

Really hard for us to say if it is justified or not.
Are you sloppy? Do you often make mistakes you could have, and realistically should have, been able to avoid?
Different jobs and tasks have different thresholds for error. At some point if you make a lot of mistakes someone else has to redo all your work.
Of course your hunch could be right. Your boss could be secretly hating on you for your minority background, stranger things have happened. But it seems more likely that you are in fact sloppy and need to take a minute extra to go over your own work. That level of information isn't here though. In general between you making a mistake in a new profession and someone intentionally making your life difficult, the former is more likely.
He s nitpicking
That seems to be your feeling. In my line of work, if I made one mistake a week it would be impossible to justify keeping me.
But what sort of things are they? How much damage or extra work are these mistakes causing?
Everyone has a learning curve. It is okay to need to learn things.
Not big mistake more as , things he says i forget or why the caps lock or why did u send a contract or why didn't u add this location etc
But i dont know the systemen yet
To be fair to your boss these all sound like you being sloppy. You should notice caps lock being on. You should know when to send or not send a contract. And you should know that locations are needed.
These are all things I expect you to know even if new. Not doing them is sloppy. Ask for help if you are uncertain. That's fine, good even! Take an extra pass at all your work. No one expects you to be as fast as the experienced colleagues.
But these examples are absolutely what qualifies as sloppy. From your boss' view its extra work ane apologies needed for things you would have caught if you looked at your own work once.
I feel 97% certain that your boss is just being truthful and you need to pay attention to what you do. Just read over it and go through a checklist before calling it done. After a week of no mistakes I am sure your boss will be very happy.
I disagree
He experts me to know everything without training
If he does that is unfair and you will need to communicate that you would like to excel and do a good job but that you need guidance on their methodology in order to do so.
However. The things you mentioned all fall in the sloppy category. That is: They are easy mistakes to make and fix that near anyone with any familiarity with the work should know are wrong.
So it is entirely possible that you are sloppy and that you are not given enough guidance. Look it may sound like I am complaining but it is only a direct response to your own reluctance to admit fault. I have no stakes here.
If you need additional training or mentoring, and that is fine! We all do. Even having done the exact same work before you still need help with things. I've had to retrain professionals with decades of experience. Everyone needs to learn things and needing to do so is not wrong but good to acknowledge. But sending messages in caps lock? Sloppy. Not including basic information? Sloppy. Sending out unfinished work? Sloppy.
Level with your boss. You think you'd benefit from a little extra guidance. Maybe you could shadow someone for a day or two. Collaborate on a few tasks. You name it. Longterm that's a great investment and your boss should be very glad you're offering ways to improve - very few people ever do.
U dont understand me, i didn't send messages in capslock. The adress was notes as capslocks because the progam took it that way. When i entered it , i didn't know how to fix it.
None if which I can be expected to intuit from what you told me. The conclusions I made were what the vast majority would make given the information you provided. See? Again you caused a miscommunication by not putting in effort from the start. The fault is yours, not mine. I am not saying this to be mean but because it really sounds like you struggle with taking accountability for your actions.
Ask. Ask your boss. Ask a colleague. Ask someone. You may feel embarrassed but you should not. Even just asking the nearest coworker to take a look at your work is fine. It really sounds like you might benefit from a joint project or two.
No... a lot of people left because of him
... it's not because you're the only minority.. come on... if that were true, you would have never gotten a new job title. come on!
it's probably because he misjudged your abilities because it seems like you aren't doing the new job correctly that he thought you could be able to handle.
I need time but he seems to lack patience with me
