Today’s society has faced a wealth of exposure to overt forms of racism and discrimination in our communities and on our screens. Colorblindness and Racial Microaggressions mark some of the more covert ways that racial bias operates in the workplace. They are more difficult to address because they are subtle, often operating on a subconscious level by well-intentioned people. But if left unchecked, Colorblindness and Racial Microaggressions damage interpersonal relationships and undermine a company’s culture of inclusion and belonging.
