If someone calls you out, the only good response is to apologize and adjust your behavior immediately

At the end of the day, being an ally is about being a person first. It is to see and interact with another person's humanity, regardless of ethnicity, gender, or color.

GET COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE!😎
In a world where racial bias and microaggressions have been the norm, genuine allyship means courageously showing up where discrimination exists.
In reality, this can be very uncomfortable. Defying the cultural standard often entails drawing unwanted attention, risking real consequences, and making sacrifices. Although many white supporters have expressed personal support for Black Lives Matter, they often struggle to articulate that value and move from theory to action — especially in the workplace.  Instead, they find themselves trapped in performative antiracism.
Here are some examples of how you can start to take action and create a positive change within your office environment:
1. Become a confidant

1. Establish trusting relationships with people of color and let them know that they can confide in you about any prejudices they are facing or feelings they are experiencing.
2. See something, say something

Keep an eye out for racist or sexist remarks and actions, and then take swift and immediate action to shut them down.
When you witness discrimination, don’t approach the victim later to offer sympathy. Give him or her your immediate help and support at the moment.
