Well gosh, who could have predicted this?!
It's almost as though diversity hiring, more often than not, tends toward reducing people to their immutable attributes.
I mean isn't that the social dynamic of wokeness anyway?
A bunch of upper-class guilty whites that want a religious code and creed to say to absolve them of their original sin?
- Simulacra 6y agoDiversity is not a natural occurrence. When left to their own devices, companies, communities, and people will always gravity to what is most similar to them. Diversity is only possible at the end of a government bayonet, which only makes the problem worse. When you force people to accept a specific view, you're going to have blowback.

What’s miraculous and wonderful is the capacity for acculturation and assimilation where there’s an exchange of cultural knowledge and character. Obviously forcing social ideas (as academic, theoretical and blatantly activist political as CRT) is bound to be met with anger. But rightly so - diversity training and corporate HR types are insufferable and making them agents of social change is a disaster in the making if you’re trying to be persuasive to people about diversity.
