It's wrong to make assumptions based on race and gender.
When James showed up for the technical meeting, the only other person there was an African-American woman.
James wants to greet the other person in the meeting room.
"James says, ""Hi, I don't think we've met - I'm the product designer""."
"James says, ""Hi, are you the secretary for the engineering department?""."
"The woman responds, ""Pleased to meet you, I'm the CTO,"" and continues making small talk."
"The woman raises her eyebrows and says, ""No, I'm the CTO,"" making the rest of the meeting very awkward."
