No, it's actually nothing like that at all but I can see how tempting it was for you to make a false equivalency in order to support the point you wanted to make anyway.

In actuality, it's a very real and current example of how my colleague, the guy who directs all the devs at our organization and happens to be black doesn't give a shit.

I see, so option b then. A balsy choice to be sure, I have to wonder if you'd have the stones to mansplain to your black supervisor that he or she is perpetuating a racial system. Based on your choice I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you're also perpetuating a stereotype, that of the white guilt avenger. Please do correct me and explain why I'm wrong and a bigot though.
