"Got passed over for promotion 3 times in 2 years. Each time a less qualified white colleague was chosen. When I raised it with HR they said 'we don't think it's race related.' I've now started recording every meeting and keeping copies of all performance reviews. Know your rights. Document everything. They bank on us not doing that."

"Was told the flat was no longer available. My white friend called 10 minutes later pretending to be interested β€” they said it was still available and invited him to view it. This is 2024. This is England. I reported it to the council. Nothing happened. Posting here so at least it's documented somewhere."
