It may not be true in your experience but it does exist. I've worked in several diverse offices in the US where it's exactly like that. Race/sexual orientation hardly ever comes up as a political topic and colleagues are generally friendly with one another (with a significant number of queer and POC colleagues)

Maybe this is true in a minority of workplaces, but almost every person reading this can think of a coworker who cracked a sexist or rascist joke. That doesn't count the plurality is people smart enough to keep it to themselves and just let it influence your ability advance.

I think that you'll be able to find the work environment I described in most major metropolitan areas in the US.

It might be harder to come by in smaller metropolitan areas or rural areas.

Sure, and those workers have it great. What about all the other people who have to put up with the other work environments?

EDIT Also, it is very difficult to suss out this type of before being hired. Most people at least pretend to be professional until they get comfortable.
