If you speak up about blatant jaw dropping racism in a Madison Avenue agency, you can kiss your job goodbye. HR departments and not so anonymous hotlines are a joke.<br /><br />If you advocate in even a small way for more women of color, agency leadership responds by shoving foreign females on work visas in your face as proof of their support for diversity.<br /><br />Newsflash, a white Australian, Israeli, English, South African etc. woman does not equal a black or brown woman. It certainly stops us from having conversations about ethnicity in advertising, though. Agencies are too busy celebrating gender diversity and diversity of thought. <br /><br />I’m getting mighty fed up with seeing only white women get ahead with all of these new diversity initiatives and promises, and then getting told I have a chip on my shoulder when I point it out.
