After a race scandal involving the CEO at my job, we've all been taking DEI training. The latest one took months to complete. They aren't one-off "be nice to each other" bs webinars. They're deep dives into the history and origins of racism, from the feudal lords in Europe inventing indentured servitude and how that morphed into slavery, to redlining and how that impedes generational wealth.
The only reasonable conclusion you can come to, if you honestly engage with the material, is that capitalism and its interests lie beneath all forms of discrimination and inequity. Corporations were all into DEIA when they thought it was good PR that made them look good to customers and improved staff morale. But then, the material starts giving those employees ideas. That's what this recent push-back on DEIA is about.
See, and I think more people could benefit from those. Our DEI training is like a 15 minute video and then a 7 question quiz. "Karen called Sharon the N word in an email, was that bad??!? (Y/N)". It really is no wonder that a large swath of people think dei is a joke. In a lot of places it IS a joke.
That sounds almost exactly like the Sexual Harassment Prevention training I have to take every year.
If they want these trainings to actually be effective, then they need to actually put in the effort to make the training actually effective.
