Problem is this won’t gain much support as being damning because most people have to change their hair and clothes because of work and many people do have to adjust their diet due to work. Changing name and the actually defined racism such as slurs is entirely measurable as different but until recently most people couldn’t be themselves because of work. It is slowly changing as outdated views get pushed out but management is still older people who are reluctant to grow.
Any that can and need to … we should all be ashamed that we allow this to happen, more ashamed that we force women and men to try because of bias, racism, and prejudice.
— The racists are certainly working overtime lately to down vote to fuck practically every article on this sub where racism is the subject.
— Whoever you are, all you are doing is paving a path to a future where you spend years being eaten through by bitterness and hate for everyone.
— Luck with that.
This doesn’t feel like a particularly useful study. I feel many people of any colour would answer sinilarily – especially the question regarding having your progression blocked.
I don’t have time to find the proper study but I wonder if they properly controlled for this and if they compared the responses to a baseline? Because saying x percent of women of colour say y, isn’t that useful without knowing how many of the general pop would too
Edit: Can’t find the original research but the report DOES list baseline figures for white women. 61 percent vs 44 percent for changing themselves to fit in, and 28 percent vs 19 percent regarding progression.
Would have been nice for the guardian to include some context for the numbers. If half of all white ‘native’ women change themselves to fit in at work it doesn’t seem much of a shock, or necessarily indicative of inherent racism that just over half of people of colour with a different heritage would.
I’d still be interested for the percentages for white blokes too. I’m a white British born and bred and I certainly change and have changed myself to fit into organisations.
Work me, and private life me are pretty different. I have to dress smart, be clean shaven or a neat beard, but not stubble. Not sure how is get a beard without first having the stubble. Plus I do I talk a little different.
On of my old bosses dads was a member of the SS, yeah he kept that quiet..
I hope the U.K. isn’t too far down the road of “x of colour”, and can back the fuck up off it.
Anyone that uses is perpetuates racism as it is a product of the “One drop rule” prevalent in the U.S.
