But it's something that can be corrected. What you describe is exactly parallel to the backlash against nonwhite military members back when the units were integrated. It takes time and a lot of effort to feel comfortable treating people who are different in some core way as equals. As I wrote in my previous post the military has a history of addressing it better than civilian companies and organizations but I know that issues remain with race and gender. One of my family members was the military equivalent of an EEO compliance officer until a few years ago and I've heard plenty of stories.
