There is no way a few DEI courses, videos or whatever are going to change people's habits. Habits require lots of repetition over time to impact a lasting change. To do that requires an general attitude of forgiveness while the person is practicing the new habits as slipping up is easy. But there is often no forgiveness. So even those who would like to do better can't and are instead forced to withdraw from social interaction with those they feel they might potentially offend if they slip up. IMO things like DEI training are the symptoms/signs that things are changing for the better. I don't think they will lead to any change but do mean there is a general shift in culture going on. So while a good sign, expecting these things to have a real impact is not realistic.
