Perceptions of workplace racism have shown little change since 2018, despite the significant Black Lives Matter protests triggered by police violence against Black individuals in the US in 2020.

Notably, a quarter of those who observed such incidents chose not to report them due to concerns about potential repercussions. Furthermore, one-third of white respondents opted for the stance of ‘not my business,’ marking a 20% increase since the same questions were posed in 2018
