by far the highlight of the away article is that the company's head of people, who as far as i can tell from google images looks exactly like any other white woman, "identifies as a person of color"

i understand that it's possible to look white while being mixed race and ex. having family who look obviously not white, but a huge part of race has to do with the way you are perceived and to be ignorant of that enough to say you "identify as a person of color" is just dumb

Replying to @keerthiko
wading into stuff i know v little about but quick note i feel the native case is interesting bc for historical reasons a lot of the people that are legit closest & most committed to their native ancestors' culture are ppl that "look white" and it's a much finer balance

don't really know how to navigate that one all the way through but imo even in that case if you look white and ppl assume you're white on meeting it's pretty aggressive to self-identify as a "person of color" and i wouldn't love it
