How can I avoid conversations about racial equality while still showing respect for my colleagues?
user
Showing respect for your colleagues does not have to involve discussing topics related to racial equality. Instead, you can start with basic politeness such as calling them by their preferred name and pronouns, using appropriate titles when addressing them, making sure to ask their input in discussions and listening closely to what they say. Doing this ensures that you are showing respect while avoiding sensitive topics.

One way to avoid conversations about racial equality while still showing respect for your colleagues is to use 'racial blindspots' when interacting with them. This requires humility and self-reflection, as this allows you to recognize and acknowledge how racism could potentially affect someone from a different racial background than yourself without inserting yourself into those discussions. Other approaches include avoiding making assumptions based on race, being an Ally in addressing racial issues that may arise in the workplace, displaying sensitivity towards cultural differences between coworkers, and using personal stories as a way to open up dialogue.
