[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it’s uncomfortable, a distraction, and unpleasant. Which is exactly how your non-white/gay/whatever colleagues may well feel about the crap that they deal with every day in the workplace. [/quote]

But truly, what?? People are treated as people at my workplace. They don't deal with any crap that's different from the rest of us.[/quote]

White supremacy culture.  Perfectionism, punctuality, etc.  These are all standards for the workplace created by whites that contribute to harming minorities.[/quote]

I’m sorry, punctuality is a problem in the work place? I think we’re all rather peeved when our meal takes 1.5 hours to come out at a restaurant or our Amazon shipment is 4 days late…

Punctuality is a result of the move towards industrial organization. Nobody, I repeat, nobody likes it on the producer side - no matter what industry you’re in, but to imply that it’s somehow prejudice is a difficult concept for me to understand. Could you please elaborate?[/quote]

n a world driven by capitalism, professionalism is based on a monochronic relationship to timeliness and work style. It centers productivity over people, values time commitments, accomplishes tasks in a linear fashion, and often favors individuals who are white and Western. In contrast, polychronic cultures, while still able to get tasks completed, prioritize socialization and familial connections over economic labor. Within black and immigrant communities, there is often a deep ancestral connection to polychronic cultural orientation.

Luckily there are immigrant communities whose representatives are able to adhere to deadlines [/quote]
