Get into a cadence of sending them an update of your priorities/progress at the beginning, middle and end of they day. After that ignore any emails.

This question is asked a ton and there’s a lot of good advice on the web. I would micro manage you too if you couldn’t find it on your own.

People are just like dogs. If you want to train a dog to eat at night, that’s when you feed them. If you want to train your manager to wait, make your manager wait. By constantly responding, you are training your manager to micro manage you. People that micro manage are usually driven by anxiety - sometimes it’s because they think they will forget a request if they don’t send it. Turn off your mail notifications on your phone an in outlook and set alarms to check your mail on some basis.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
