The American diversity meat grinder

I am frankly tired of this as a person of color. I work in Silicon Valley and constantly being hassled by HR/PR/Marketing teams to pose as their diversity pawn. Yes, I have a picture of me taken (company owns the rights) to put me at the fore front of their marketing materials.

You can always say no to this. I've seen recruiters do this other places and people got their pictures taken down after the fact.

At the time, it was not so easy to say no (when we had racial tensions in June last year). I'll try reaching out.

I don't envy you ... Funny thing is, when I was in academia, I was always annoyed by being passed over in the "token Muslim" photo shoots because I did not fit white liberals' stereotypes of Muslims :-)
