Woke indoctrination increases racism? - bullet - 01-15-2022 10:03 PM

"...Making this training compulsory is especially likely to be counterproductive. A 2016 study of more than 800 US firms finds that:
five years after instituting required training for managers, companies saw no improvement in the proportion of white women, black men, and Hispanics in management, and the share of black women actually decreased by 9%, on average, while the ranks of Asian-American men and women shrank by 4% to 5%. Trainers tell us that people often respond to compulsory courses with anger and resistance-and many participants actually report more animosity toward other groups afterward.
Paying for something with no proven benefits is bad enough. Compulsory training may actively be making things worse....
One obvious problem of corporate whitewashing is the unevenness with which it is applied. Racism is bad, but so is much else. And yet our soi-disant “anti-racist” universities rarely if ever call themselves “anti-genocide” or “anti-corruption” or “anti-censorship” or (for that matter) “anti-corporate-bull****”. In summer 2020, you could hardly move for universities making fatuous assertions of “solidarity” with victims of racism. But you won’t find similarly prominent (and probably not any) support, from the same sources, for free speech in Hong Kong or for the non-extermination of the Uyghurs. But then upsetting China might affect your bottom line...."

Quote:people often respond to compulsory courses with anger and resistance-and many participants actually report more animosity toward other groups afterward.That’s not a bug. It’s a feature.

Shouldn’t be a question mark in the title of this thread…it’s a fact

Forcing this crap on Blue Collar folks enrages them much more than those indoctrinated at Universities.

Or on adults over 40 who understand how much better things are than in the 80s, let alone the 60s.

Look if you tell people they are evil because of the pigment of their skin it is not going to help matters. Also, telling blue collar people (many of whom have a family history of abject poverty) that they are privileged is going to piss said people off.

No shite
Make people hypersensitive and give them a persecution complex.

We opened the door for the communist and they walked right in. Now we question if calling all white people evil racist is a bad thing. You can’t make up the extent to which some in the population want to cut off their nose.

Big shocker... mandatory training in a racist ideology increases racism. Huh, who woulda thunk?

I'm white collar. Both grandfathers only had 8th grade education. One grandfather was raised in an orphanage. The other's Dad was a day laborer in South Texas. Hard to find much privilege there.
