Nothing is more cruel than the soft bigotry of lower expectations.

So if a black surgeon starts to cut someone nuts off instead of hemorrhoids.
Don’t correct the surgeon, take it for the team.

I worked with a young black kid, back in the late 1990's. He was conscientious and a hard worker, of at least average ability for an engineer, in a pretty strong department. We didn't work on the same project, and had little professional interface, I found him sympatico.

We talked work, and business, and I asked to see what he was working on. It appeared his task manager didn't expect anything from him, and gave him pointless tasks. He also didn't have any software licenses, (back in the day) so he was using Excel application basic to do scientific programming. His task manager treated him like a diversity hire, and took for granted that he couldn't and wouldn't produce useful work. I was infuriated. He was decent, ambitious kid, who needed meaningful challenges. He left the company after about a year.
