Nayomi's narrative reveals that, while her professional position is accepted, she feels that further advancement is not welcomed by members of the majority group. The implicit message here is that Nayomi's legitimacy within the organization is limited and her access to higher positions is perceived as "too much" or "undeserved." While this implicit message is not an overt obstruction or attack, it is experienced as selective incivility because it questions Nayomi's right to professional advancement. Similarly, in the literature, the perception of ethnic minority employees that their current positions are not perceived as "adequate or appropriate" and that their further demands are characterized as unfair are cited as indicators of implicit discrimination and legitimacy challenges.
