A recent story:
Over the years, Jack has been working very closely with this small technology company in the heart of the Silicon Valley. This company, like a lot of the other technology companies in the area, it is very diverse. Their employees in the Silicon Valley headquarter comprise some Indian programmers, a British CTO, who is Jack's main collaborator, and a lady Russian CEO.
This one week Jack was terribly sick with a cold, and needed very much to stay in bed to fight the nasty virus. However, on Wednesday the company had an interview with a U.S. government agency about some contract, and the CTO insisted that Jack go to their office no matter what.
Jack grumble about it: "I can't believe that I am the white boy proxy."
That night when he got home, Jack said the company also rented a receptionist, bought some ceramic coffee mugs and nice cookies for the occasion. And then they didn't even need him.
