How can it be racism? I am the same white race. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Just Russian. My American founder is much darker. )))))

I have much experience with formal presentation, but only in my Russian language. I have made presentations about almost one billion dollars, but always in the native Russian.

In this language, my partner has so many accomplishments. Every week, he is appearing on BBC for example, as the respect expert. For me, this pressure is so strong.

We are equals in our company. He is the hacker, I am the banker. But it does not mean we are equals, in English presentation!

I include ethnicity under the umbrella that is "racism". It's less of a mouthful than "racial and ethnic discrimination". Ethnicity and race aren't the same thing, but people treat them in very similar ways. They'll hear accents, see facial shapes, learn small details and their stereotypes take over.

But we're not here to argue about that. I don't think we're here to argue at all. You've made a clear case that he should do the pitch. I agree.
