| It just means someone who is part of a demographic that isn't as represented as would be expected based on the average. E.g., if Black folks are 10% of the residents of your city and you had 1 Black individual in an office of 20 people, they'd be under-indexed. If you had 2, they wouldn't be. |

| ▲ | myko 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Not exactly–in my example above the 1 Black person in 20 or the 2 Black folks out of 20 would be "under-indexed" and "not under-indexed" respectively but all 3 are members of a marginalized group | |
| ▲ | ikr678 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I think in the context of the article it might be more skill related - eg if you were the only engineer in a room full of people making engineering decisions. You might not be marginalised in the greater business, but for a particular project or strategic issue you might be under-represented. |
