Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are critical for fostering growth, innovation, and collaboration in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). This article focuses on four key topics that have impacted many Black individuals in STEMM: know-your-place aggression, environmental microaggressions, peer mediocrity, and code-switching. We provide a comprehensive background on these issues, discuss current statistics, and provide references that support their existence, as well as offer solutions to recognize and address these problems in the STEMM which can be expanded to all historically underrepresented individuals.
多元化、公平与包容（DEI）倡议对于促进科学、技术、工程、数学和医学（STEMM）领域的发展、创新与合作至关重要。本文聚焦于对STEMM领域许多黑人个体产生影响的四个关键主题：自知之明的攻击性、环境中的微侵犯、同行平庸以及代码转换。我们提供了这些问题的全面背景，讨论了当前的统计数据，并给出了支持其存在的参考文献，还提供了解决方案，以识别和解决STEMM领域中的这些问题，这些方案可扩展至所有历史上代表性不足的个体。
