The problem is you are a cog, and most likely no better than your replacement cog, so other than your own moral high ground you aren't accomplishing anything. Personally I won't work somewhere that I find goes against my values. However I don't picture myself as the next MLK either.

You accomplish a small thing, but a socially valuable thing.

You communicate that you do not approve of the behaviour and will not help. By staying, you accomplish the opposite.

It's a small voice. But a society valuable voice. Society is a number of small voices.

The reason MLKs need to exist is because fewer people raise their voice.
