Does anyone else feel that everyone loves the 'black' lemployee until the day you a.) prove you are doing a better job than your non-POC boss/counterparts or b.) challenge the viewpoint of a non-POC?

We are loved until we speak up. We are great to show on the company site but not good enough for client meetings. When a black person gets placed in an exec role, many people say it's only because of their color. There's a black client? Make sure you get a black team member in the room. There's a charity event helping out poor colored folk? Well then we need to have a black face at the table.

I'm a little salty because I got pulled off an account for pointing out there are no POCs in our entire campaign. I tried using data showing AA and Latinx markets were growing and not having some representation in any of the work would be a big miss. I told them about Pepsi and Jenner and being tone def. I was then seen as the problem child.

We are liked but not often valued.

Yeah I once pointed out they sat all of the POC at a table by the front door to help show prospecting "ethnic" clients we were hip - non POC coworkers weren't as entertained as I was.
