I think they might be talking about stuff like “it’s wrong to expect black people to be on time for meetings” which was a quote I heard from someone who I believe meant well. There is a reasonable argument on both sides of that probably, but it left a bad taste in my mouth

Yeah. It's not circumstances due to active oppression, but the assumption that black people cannot operate in a white man's world at the same level so they need all kinds of accomodations. Like I said, I don't know the prevalence but is absolutely a real thing and worth calling out.

Jesus wept, is it a trope that black people are late? I've never heard that before, extremely bizarre.
