I think everyone needs to leverage their identity to some degree to get ahead of even just make it in this world. We all walk out our doors and put on some sort of mask bc we know being ourselves would be a disadvantage.

Perhaps there are some people that are so secure and/or privileged that this is just never a concern of theirs. But, if Jeff Besos can be as rich as he is while some of his workers can’t get enough break time to both eat lunch and take a piss, then I am willing to accept that Hasan is using what he has to his best advantage to get ahead. Yes it’s a bit exploitative, but it’s the game we are all playing here.

Don’t hate the player hate the game.
