>our systems are still inherently racist and we are a long ways away from equity I find it really bad that the mien of (inherently) racist people has evolved to a point where it can pass undetectable. Yet, the effects are still there as they have learned to operate in a different, more subtle level. Example, super friendly white boss would never dare to say anything politically incorrect, yet, bonuses, opportunities and valuable information always reaches their white subordinates sooner than it reaches others. The way they get away with it is by just simply waiting for an appropriate opportunity to arise so no one gets suspicious or nobody can point out what they did. Like, you cannot send an email only to white people to talk about a promotion, as that would be too obvious, but one day you may be having coffee with the exact set of people that you like and that's when you drop the news about whatever info that is meant for them, and only for them. I haven't been a target of that but I have observed it as I've been part of the inner circle several times. I found it quite vulgar, tbh, as I believe strongly in merit above other things. Part of that is what led me to become an entrepreneur so I don't have to deal with people like that in order to make a living. |

Reminds me of an observation that affinity fraud is really a continuum. Exploiting that is a skill. The better you can pass the better your opportunities. Once you see it, it's everywhere.
