[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I put the question to Whites because I have a sense that there is a need to have PROOF that the person's racial opinions DIRECTLY caused the job loss, or under-performance. I am certain that most minorities (and women) would know how difficult working with such racists (sexists) can be.[/quote] I think there's a (big generalization) typical sense that capital-R Racism is when someone says "I am firing that person because they are Black." And often less of an understanding of structural racism, or of ways that prejudices and discrimination are "in the water" if you will. A sense that being neutral and not-acting is an anti-racist position, where sometimes you have to actively fight against underlying racism to level the playing field, and by doing nothing, you are reinforcing the status quo.[/quote]
