Uber reportedly placed its head of diversity and inclusion on leave this week after she hosted an event centering “the American white woman’s experience.”
Uber placed its head of diversity and inclusion on leave this week after she hosted an event centering “the American white woman’s experience,” spurring some employees to complain that it had been a forum for “tone-deaf, offensive and triggering conversations,” according to. An Uber spokesman confirmed to the newspaper that Bo Young Lee, who has headed up diversity at the company since 2018, was “on a leave of absence” as of Sunday.
It was intended to be an “open and honest conversation about race,” according to an invitation, and allowed white women at the company to speak about their experience, particularly about “the ‘Karen’ persona.” Instead, several employees voiced their concern and outrage, and a second meeting held last week meant to address the dissent only inflamed tensions.
