Do you think this is discrimination?

This payroll lady is terse with me, and always little bit aggressive saying I'm wasting her time what not

However with colleagues from same country she chats for awhile with them non work related stuff, horsing around, etc

Yes, it sounds like it to me.

[AI Opinion]

It does sound like there could be an element of unequal treatment based on your description. Discrimination in the workplace can manifest in various ways, including differences in tone and engagement. To address this, consider having a private, calm conversation with her to express your feelings and identify any misunderstandings. If it doesn't improve, documenting specific incidents and discussing them with your HR department could be necessary to resolve the situation.
