I’m the only non-Caucasian person in my office. Boss signed me up for a company wide DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) team. I assume this will make me responsible for leading these discussions in my branch. I don’t find it appropriate that they signed me up for it, and don’t want to hold that responsibility. What’s the most “proper” way to explain that I’m not comfortable doing this?
