Columbia prof: diversity training has strong opposite effect

Other times, they can fail to improve negative perceptions about the target group, yet increase negative views about others. For instance, an empirical investigation of ‘white privilege’ training found that it did nothing to make participants more sympathetic to minorities – it just increased resentment towards lower-income whites. Encouraging people to ignore racial and cultural differences often results in diminished cooperation across racial lines. Meanwhile, multicultural training — emphasizing those differences — often ends up reinforcing race essentialism among participants. It is not clear what the best position between these poles is (such that these negative side effects can be avoided), let alone how to consistently strike that balance in training.

I know what the best position is, ignore what race the other person is, judge him by his actions, and treat people the way you want to be treated.
Who gives a crap about something someone can not control?

Diversity training reinforces racism.

Humans all eat, sleep, and shite the same way.

This has been very obvious. It’s making everything worse. Critical race theory is rolling back decades of progress.

"wh17e pr1v1l3g3" is to whites
as n1gg3r is to blacks.
Both are on equal footing as far as being racially offensive.

How about getting out from between the poles altogether? If they are seen as opposing ends of a spectrum and not only does neither end work but also there is complete failure along every point of the entire spectrum then the only sensible thing to do is abandon it altogether.
Just tell people to do their fricking job and be done with it.

Clearly the best decision is for businesses to scrap diversity programs. I don’t give a frick where my co worker comes from as long as they can do the work and at least be some what entertaining

I'm so confused...
this guy is saying that teaching white people they are inherently racist and hateful doesn't improve our society?
SHOCKED!

Anything you force feed me I, not going to like eating it,,,,,I could have really cared less about people being different from me, until they started throwing it in my face, now I resent their positions.

I've been screaming this since the bullshiat started with Clinton.
The more you point out differences, the more you drive people apart. The more you encourage people to celebrate THEIR culture, and not OUR culture, the more we are alienated.
We were once a melting pot. We were Americans. Now we are a bunch of different people living in the same space. That never works out.

This is the actual point of a lot of the woke stuff. They know this and that's why they promote it so much.

Well, no shite.
There is a very small section of this country that plays divide and conquer on racial lines because it's easy and benefits them politically (both parties).
Any average American can tell you that race is one of the least impactful divisions among common people.
Income
Education
Religion
Does anyone really think Barack and Michelle Obama have more shared experience with Tyrone the crackhead on a street corner in Baltimore than their Martha's Vineyard neighbors?
Problem is, if people are encouraged to find commonality and cooperation across lines of income or status, there's a frickload lot more of us than of them (Washington Elite).

No shite. That's the entire point. It's to cause racial division under the name of unity.

Gonna need someone to show their work.

No shite - when you chastise people and train them to stop doing or saying something they’ve probably never done or said, people tend to get a little irritated.

I've got a training lesson plan: Don't be a dick.

Here's a crazy idea! Maybe, just maybe, we stop making everything about race and get back to the teachings of the civil rights movement. You know, the color blind society where people are judged for who they are, not what they are... The philosophy that brought us from Jim Crow to a black POTUS in less than 50 years.
