I worked for a large tech company near Seattle (you know the one) which included the Diversity PR team lead by a black woman. I was in a meeting with her chit chatting about her vacation, she had gone to some island in the Caribbean. She actually said to me and another white woman that she didn't have a good time because there weren't enough black people on that island. I was stunned. Can you imagine if I had stated the reverse to her?
A few years later I caught her in a huge scheme playing shell games with vendors and millions in budget funding. I exposed her and the company "let her go" with 2 years pay and benefits. Not a bad deal for someone who should have been fired and prosecuted. All that to avoid an uncomfortable headline.
