There is actually lots of good evidence that familiarity with unfamiliar ethnic groups and exposure to different cultural priorities makes people less prone to conflict and bad reactions. I've worked at a lot of places, and I've yet to see an anti-bias training that was more than awareness-raising. I've never ever heard any suggest more radical ideas (such as restorative justice). While we might argue that current D&I initiatives are not working at a pace we'd prefer, I do think the literature strongly suggest that the method of informed exposure and consideration for issues other than your own tends to work. What's more, these programs are extremely inexpensive compared to more radical restructuring of companies (or the often pie-in-the-sky suggestions of folks who will die on the hill of "it is a pipeline problem"). Some examples of not-too-old research on how simple conversations and exposure can change attitudes: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/346/6215/1366 https://science.sciencemag.org/content/346/6215/1366 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2705986/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2705986/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780080885797500132 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978008088... P.S., it's worth noting that if you haven't scanned the scientific literature carefully, you're committing the same error as the folks who fell for this goofy color theory scam by putting your own biases and intuition above the scientific method.
