How White People Handle Diversity Training in the Workplace

• abenedic 8y ago
  In undergrad I had a history class that started with the unpacking the knapsack of white privilege[0]. A lot of the student responses were similar.

  > I try to explain how the impact is different when we interrupt across race because we bring our histories with us. This is what I don't understand. Does this means that any disagreement with people of color is automatically racism?

  The whole article reads like victimhood 101, I do not 'bring [my] history with [me]' when I'm arguing with someone. And I'm sorry but I'm not buying the 'workplace must be racist if it is more than 50% white' - No, you can't claim racism unless the % of ethnic minorities in an organisation is less than the historical average of ethnic minorities leaving the university courses that are that role's prerequisite plus the historical average of ethnic minorities who have immigrated with that degree - and even then you'd have to collect stats on who applied for the roles!
