[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Black and currently dealing with what I think is racism at work but it's not overt enough for me to call it out and I don't want to be labeled or have any issues with HR. The subtlety of it has led to depression and anxiety on my part.

I also have a family member who asserts that any slight towards her is racism which clearly isn't true.

There's no universally correct solution to OP's situation. The employees may genuinely be concerned they're being treated differently because of their race and OP may truly feel that it's not the case. But racism is real and Black people such as myself can't help but jump to the conclusion that it's happening because it's so pervasive. Most of us wish it's something we didn't have to consider at all.

The previous suggestion to document problematic behaviors for all employees is a good one as long as you do it every single time.[/quote]

It’s so hard to tell what is and isn’t racism when it’s so easy to hide meanness or ill-intent and so difficult to prove genuine kindness.[/quote]
