I’ve worked in IT, and I’ve never heard a whole lot of questions about “blackness” to blacks. Rarely heard discussions on whether a black person held the job due to affirmative action, too, unless they were blatantly unqualified otherwise.
What I have seen is mandatory diversity training where the sanctioned liberal bully gets to call everyone else out on being inherently bad unless you self-flagellate and denounce your privilege. Then the person gets to go around and guilt-trip each person individually, while they and their allies go around supervising and micromanaging everything you do. THAT can be draining unless you’re a moral busybody. You have to be a true believer on a moral crusade to keep it up.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
By C.S. Lewis

I remember that. They asked everyone in the room “what do you relate as?” I said “American” and my buddy said “Dutch.” The latina with an attitude “trainer” gave me the stink eye but stopped and said “What??” when he said it. Then he repeated it. It was pretty funny.
I worked for the State of California so had to go through all that crap once every couple of years.
