One issue I've seen with diversity in the workplace is that each company seems to have its own interpretation of what diversity should be (many times associated to the corporation's own demons). I worked in a company in which diversity was synonym for Hispanic, in another one it was LGTBQ, another one was people of color, other was women... in some of them, being part of the diverse group was great; but being outside of that idea of "corporate diversity", even when being part of what would be considered a diversity group, could mean less opportunities and ostracism.
What would you do in those cases? How would you approach this diverse/not-really-diverse environments?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
