what is a racial advancement?
2 comments

I’m reasonably sure they got “advances” and “harassment” jumbled up. Ie, both “(unwanted) sexual advances” and “sexual harassment” are things, but only “racial harassment” is a thing.

At least, I think so. Sometimes the world changes while I’m looking the other way.

Making some sort of harassment with a racial component that's on par with sexual harassment. Despite all the DEI policies and whatever, the baseline for termination is pretty much the same as most employers, off color remarks are not getting you fired but putting down a fellow employee certainly can.
Ha I think they were just pointing out that a sexual advance is a real phrase but a "racial advance" isn't and makes no sense. It's a bit subtle.
