>Imagine that your great-great grandparents were enslaved. Your grandparents weren't allowed to go to white schools. Your dad was harrassed by the cops as a young man in the deep south. You worry that your colleagues may think you wouldn't have been seriously considered for this job if you weren't an underrepresented minority.

My country was destroyed by Nazis, milions of my country citizens died cuz of it and it was less than century ago.

I'm working fine with german companies / people just fine as I'd work with other country based companies, no bias.

Time to move on.

Will you be equally fine, if the company talks about building 'Economic Reich'. Or if people on probation are sent to 'concentration camp' for a week long training.

You mean if they used "concentration camp"? then I'd laugh off my ass just like I did now because of how ridiculous it sounds

I guess other people could be pissed off, but I think "concentration camp" is nowhere even close to "master"

maybe "camp"/"bootcamp" is close to "master", but then I don't think people would be annoyed over it.

"We're sending people to a week long bootcamp", just pretty normal and neutral statement.

equivalent of "concentration camp" would be "we'd want you to work as our slave" in job description sent to black person.
