        Right. If they had framed this policy without using stereotypes it would have been fine and not racist.

        I would like to see a study where they control for the race of the employer or perceived racism of the employer. I might demand more pay to compensate for whatever dignity I might have to exchange while performing the work.

        And to clear: What I mean is that white people don't have to put up with things at work that non-white people sometimes do. Just as men don't have to put up with things at work that many women must put up with.
