How is that even possible?

’Mexican people have the option of being white when it's convenient for them,'Isn’t that what you’re trying to do with that wig, Karen?

“Mexican people have the option of being white when it’s convenient for them”
Like it or not, she does have a point as Mexican culture does permit one to get an education and to vote conservative (as happened in Texas in 2020 when Trump did fine but even though the polling predicted a very close race - Trump won a huge percentage of the Mexican vote, nearly half).
Now, there’s another culture, where doing the above is virtually outlawed...

"she made racist comments towards Hispanic colleagues and even fat-shamed one employee."
"Fat-shaming" can happen when people get confused over whether or not voiced concerns for an obese person's health are sincere. All it takes is for one snowflake and one or more hotheads to blow everything out of proportion. /s

“I generally distrust Mexican people.”
Racism straight up.
Cannot believe someone in this woman’s position would say that, even if she felt that way.
Maybe “inclusion” is just not your thing, honey.
GET OUT.

Ugh. This isn’t racism. It’s hypocritical given her post, but it’s not racist. Racism is the belief that one’s own race is superior to another. Distrusting someone or a whole class of people isn’t racist. It’s maybe generalist or elitest, but it’s not racist.
We need to take back the language folks. Words have meaning. This person is a sad hypocrite, to be certain, and she might very well be racist, but not based on that comment.

Ok, she doesn’t like fat people and Mexicans but what about the other 998 different types of self claimed types of people? Maybe she likes just over 50% which would be the majority! Did they ever think to ask her?

Yet another racist black female loose cannon. Why are they wasting money on an office of equity anyway? Ridiculous.

Her management style was also brought up in interviews with the investigators, which found that she micromanaged staff, was disorganized and lacked adequate structure and processes and made unreasonable requests. Sounds like a VP we know

I agree. Also, “Mexican” is not a race. It’s a nationality. Like the United States, Mexico includes a variety of races, cultures, and linguistic groups.

Another employee also said Johnson had an 'us versus them' mentality when it came to her Hispanic co-workers, often calling them out for not having 'lived experiences' of racism.
Her management style was also brought up in interviews with the investigators, which found that she micromanaged staff, was disorganized and lacked adequate structure and processes and made unreasonable requests. What's the problem? Looks like a 5-star bureaucrat who could check all the HR boxes, especially for the important position of " equity director".
