Everyone has the opportunity to learn about the dynamics of race within our world. In the corporate world, continual education and awareness of cultures and bias should be an expectation of every employee.
So many people study history and economics, but only the parts that are relevant to them... Learning outside of our own experiences actually helps greatly to increase chances of success in life by connecting with others outside of our normal culture and experiences...
It's a challenge that can be very rewarding if it is ritually practiced by all individuals not just in companies, but in life... Different cuisines alone that I've been exposed to (by new friends outside of my home culture) have been life altering in a great way. I understand context of current events and even TV shows and movies far better than I used to because of my exposure to cultures and languages beyond my own.
It's unfathomable to me how anyone could be resistant towards cultural learning, empathy, understanding, and growth outside of their own. It's a big reason why bias keeps resurging, because of that ingrained resistance (in this world) towards understanding and learning about each other.
