37. Your point was that a POC who is corporate is "acting white".

If you misspoke, then just say so. This is not "parsing" and I am not offended (not my alert, BTW). Just disappointed by your choice of words. Language is powerful, and the words and images you chose were unnecessarily divisive. I don't think they were even what you MEANT to say, after going back and forth a bit. But now you need to make it MY problem for holding you accountable like this is just grammar police nonsense or something.

Sigh.... I'm out. Y'all have fun.
