Am I too middle eastern? And more bullshit questions.

I work in the beauty industry and overheard my caucasian coworker say, "She's too Middle Eastern".

Not about me, but about a model. This model wasn't "on brand". Working for a brand, I get it, sometimes I need to mute my personal style and focus on the "brand". But that doesn't match my politics. Am I demurring my ideals for money?

My politics tell me to promote and support everyone, regardless of what they look like. What would a brand look like if it had NO rules, literally NO rules about branding - model color style etc. Would it be TOO much? Or would it be just right?
