I'm A White Team Lead At Work, The Other Team Leader Is Mixed Race, We've Noticed Different Treatment.

Sorry if this isn't the right flair, but I didn't really see anything else that applied. This is about an ABA clinic in Ann Arbor, MI.

We're both in equal leader positions, have been at this company and in these positions for the same amount of time, we both have identical education backgrounds and experience. The only difference is that I'm white and male-bodied (I'm out as NB at work, but am still typically masculine presenting) and my coworker is a mixed race woman.

We noticed one time we both wrote near identical messages in the chat at one point but she got talked to by management and I didn't. I looked at her message, IMO, it was more tame than mine was. We started an experiment and anytime she got talked to for a message "being to direct." I'll write one identical to it. There have been 6 times over the past year where she got talked to, I wrote nearly word for word the same message and didn't get talked to.

she also makes $4 less an hour than I do. And she's actually asked for raises while I have not. We have documentation. I'm just wondering if we have any sort of case?
