[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

+1. Also performance metrics.  Another invention of the white supremacists to suppress minorities.[/quote]

This is the shit I can’t get behind. Performance metrics were created to suppress minorities? Performance metrics evaluate whether you’re meeting the expectations of your job. [/quote]

Yes, but the metrics themselves are often racist and discriminatory. E.g., maybe a salesperson is not a top seller but they contribute in other ways to the office.[/quote]

I'm the PP that wrote about metrics and it's exactly this.  Notice all the racist white people that jumped down my throat when I posted that.[/quote]

I’m confused why it’s racist to expect a salesperson to make sales. If they do other things, that’s a different job entirely (bookkeeper, office manager, etc). [/quote]

DP.  Metrics, numbers, “bottom lines”—these are arguably racist things.[/quote]

How? Could you explain the argument?[/quote]
