Sorry, I didn't mean to say there isn't any racism, I meant it's not a he-said-she-said-situation that can end careers without any evidence of wrongdoing.

The Toledo plant sounds very different from that, with "whites only" signs and nooses (and management tolerating it). The men who are not mentoring women for the reasons stated in the article certainly don't openly insult and harass them, because that would end their careers much, much quicker than mentoring them and being falsely accused of inappropriate behavior.

People care significantly less about racism which is why it doesn’t often end careers, but instead leads to sensitivity training or an apology. In many, probably most, cases it’s exactly he-said-she-said because people aren’t usually stupid/arrogant enough to leave physical proof of their racism.

Exactly, that's all I said. The he-said-she-said isn't enough to have severe consequences, hence few people are uncomfortable to meet 1:1 with a minority.
