Bluntly: there's probably a lot that you can't see.
- malandrew 6y agoThat's a vague and unsubstantiated statement. Can you provide examples and evidence of things you think the OP does not see.

Its possible the poster is a person of color who simply never sees discrimination, but its more likely they are a white person who does not notice discrimination against people of color. When the James Damore essay swept google, I briefly asked my female friends if they could simply tell me what discrimination they experience. But they were too worn out from every male colleague asking them the same thing to explain it all to each one. What I realized I needed to do was start listening to women's stories more, and start believing things even when they don't make sense to me. I needed to be curious and look for problems that I had previously been blissfully unaware of. And with that change in mindset I started to see them. We have to do the same with people of color. We need to listen to their stories and believe them. It's hard to give you a bulleted list which would clearly explain discrimination just as it was hard (and tiring) for women to explain their discrimination to me. But if you take "there are things you are not seeing about racism at the workplace" to be true, you can begin to cultivate a mindset that allows you to learn what is happening.
