Majority of racialized women feel invisible at work, Ivey Business School research shows

An overwhelming majority of racialized women say they feel invisible at work – unseen, unheard and largely “erased” by their white peers and bosses – according to a new study from organizational behaviour experts at University of Western Ontario’s Ivey Business School.

Ninety-five per cent of those interviewed by the researchers reported experiencing “erasure” at work, meaning that they felt largely ignored or unacknowledged in their workplaces because of both race and gender. They described it as different from overt racial prejudice or hostility. But the Ivey study suggests that systemic racism – albeit of a more subtle form – is still alive and well in many Canadian organizations.

“In a room of 50 people, maybe four or five were women of colour,” Eve said, describing a recent corporate event she attended. “I am short, and especially if I’m not wearing heels, a lot of these women tower over me. Their natural gaze is towards each other. They straight up ignore me.” Approximately 78 per cent of participants, particularly those who were younger and of Latin heritage, described a feeling of being exoticized by their white peers for their appearance – reduced, in a sense, to foreign objects of fascination.

Many companies, said Prof. Bhattacharyya, still had a homogenous and one-dimensional understanding of DEI, tending to focus on the wants of company leaders as opposed to listening to racialized women.

What is racialized ? Is it an effect these women have undergone? If you mean non-white, why not just say that?

Well when you keep bringing up race in everything, people will start to ignore you.

Yeah, it's like Iran up this climate controlled office job where I'm free to leave anytime I want.

The survey responses are not shocking. Racialized women, especially young ones, have been primed to view their worth through the lense of virtue-signaling moral busybodies that practically delight in the former's perpetual othering.

We feel invisible too!

Try focusing on work.

Always the victim, eh? Must be exhausting.
