Are you saying that they also discriminate against above-average white workers in favor of average white workers?

How many people are in the C-suite, and what's the ratio of PoC to total number of employees in your company? I'm not trying to disprove you, it's just that a single number (1 PoC in the C-suite) doesn't provide any insight into your situation.

How many people are in the C-suite? 8 with 1 PoC

We have a bit over 100 employees and about 30% are PoC.
