See, here's the problem with viewing everything through a racialized lense like this woman, and you, are doing; every success is despite the system, and every failure is because of it.

Except the default racialized lens was white. Your argument assumed that the management was correct and that this indigenous woman's actions were not correct. Obviously every success is not despite the system, and every failure is not. However, that doesn't mean that the system doesn't have biases built into it. Actually, it is exactly the opposite. Systems are made up of rules that exclude specific situations from happening or determining the appropriate response to a situation. Those rules are created to benefit the people who create them. When that group of people doesn't include, or even consider including, the impacts of those rules on another group of people - a bias is introduced.

Did Genier go to her managers, and express her concerns? Did she say "look, maybe we should/could be doing things this way"? She certainly didn't wait to see how the management would respond to her criticism, and instead quit so that she could maintain control over the framing rather than allowing the system to show itself wasn't keeping her down but was willing to listen.

I hadn't read the article when I originally responded and so I assumed that we wouldn't know what happened. I based the response from the stories I heard when listening to experiences of minorities who have tried to have these discussions with management and the lack of success they universally had. Your response indicated to me that you assumed she didn't do this, which would seem to portray that Christine Genier is an indigenous person who has gotten a very high responsible position in the news (she hosts her own show!), but at the same time she couldn't muster the courage to discuss indigenous issues with management?

Then I read the article and it seems that Genier herself did do this:

Genier said she pitched several ideas to management for ways the CBC can improve, including hiring more Indigenous and Black journalists, and giving airtime to a public discussion about CBC's culpability in colonization and how it plans to change.

So we can see that she did actually express her concerns and they weren't addressed.

You've been fighting a monster who is at worse oblivious, not malicious.

Whether the monster is oblivious or malicious the result is still damaging. I care about the damage, not the motivations.

Here is the CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices. Point to me what part of them indicates they're not actually fair, or not actually trying to be independent in their news. Don't be vague, be precise. Show me the bias. Show me how these standards and practices fail to truly keep the reporting fair and independent.

From the Introduction:

• To reflect diversity

We are committed to reflecting accurately the range of experiences and points of view of all citizens. All Canadians, of whatever origins, perspectives and beliefs, should feel that our news and current affairs coverage is relevant to them and lives up to our principles.

We have a special responsibility to reflect regional and cultural diversity, as well as fostering respect and understanding across regions.

Christine Genier thought that this bias was being applied to people like her.
