I've been slowly subverting and red-pilling my boss over the past 2 years of my employment (it helps that he's listening to Jocko Willink and focusing on personal responsibility), and I was able to use this to come to him about the fact that one of the new managers he hired is pre-disposed towards racialism.
You know me, I actually tried to rationalize it as "she has pride towards the accomplishment of being the first person in her family, and community, to go to college, and she's misconstruing her hard work for an inherent or systemic issue". But I was able to use that approach to make him realize: yeah, no, she can't be pushing racialism over merit.
It's a hard conversation to have with minorities without coming across like a lunatic, even if I'm right: "This a black national socialism". But if you're gentle and respectful enough, they'll no the direction they need to push people in. I think we're even getting her to turn around on some issues. There's a heavy push on personal development that I and my manager have been trying to make on the rest of our team, and there's another black woman on staff who had a strong father figure, and also pushes personal responsibility a lot to... so I think it's starting to rub off on her.

Hmmm. Maybe I am as bad as I'm labeled.
subvert all the racialists
