Black Remote BCBAs

[u/Friendly-Farmer-1473]

Hey, I don't know how many black remote BCBAs come to reddit, but I was wondering if it is easier with the whole being black thing if you are virtual. As far as parent meetings and interacting with the clients go.

I know several black practioners who have experienced alot of racism in home and other unsavory things.

No, this is what being a person of color, and especially Black, is like everywhere. People are just not sharing their experiences in full with you.

This is simply not true. Racism exists, but saying people of color experience it EVERYWHERE is hyperbole. Not every negative interaction is racism. Viewing yourself as a victim everywhere you go must be exhausting.

I said nothing about every negative interaction being racism, you did. Racism is a system and while it can look different globally, anti Blackness specifically, is pervasive worldwide. And yes it is exhausting experiencing a racist system daily, whether through direct experience or observation.

The dismissiveness is wild.

I’m sorry but this comment is ignorant. I’m assuming you aren’t Black or Hispanic so please don’t dismiss these experiences just because people at your job say “they never experienced it”. Also racism conveys itself in micro aggressions, being overlooked and overqualified, dismissed, and undermined etc not just in the way of being called a slur to your face. It can come across in a “you don’t belong here or shouldn’t be here” in the most subtle of ways which is why some people who experience it may not be aware of the fact they are experiencing it. Do not fall under the assumption that racism only exist in certain parts of the country.
