[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't really agree with being told at my last workplace DEI training - in a school- that it's "not enough" to not be racist, one MUST be anti racist for approval from the DEI crowd. Where does this end? Probably not well in some way or other. Right now, it seems a lot of people are simply losing interest?[/quote] You should be anti-racist. Like why is this so bothersome to you? [/quote] Because the goal post keeps moving. And I disagree that I should [b]devote all my time thought and action to being anti racist[/b], which is what it actually means, along with constant examination and active intervention of self and others on race. There are a lot of issues I can take an active stance on, like anti poverty, or anti elder abuse. I would like to choose when and where to devote my efforts without recrimination. I am not Mother Theresa and also have a life to live. So I don't agree that I should be anti racist or am somehow failing in the full meaning of that word. Not being racist suffices for most people most of the time.[/quote] Nobody is asking you to devote all your time. Stop being so dramatical. [/quote] +1 [/quote] When you go to a DEI training they do ask you to devote all your time. You do not know what anti racist as contrasted with not racist means. Look it up. You are clearly not anti racist.[/quote] They ask you to do better. If you can’t find a way to ever examine your thoughts and actions then that’s a you problem. [/quote] I’m doing just fine, thank you I don’t need a 25 year old women’s gendered studies major who couldn’t hold a job in the real world to describe to me what she thinks “doing better” means. [/quote] Just the elitist attitude that needs to change. You can learn a lot from people with different viewpoints. -old STEM major who is doing quite well, thanks [/quote] No, “elitism” is someone like you telling someone like me that my attitude needs to change. I’m perfectly fine the way I am. If you don’t like it- too bad. [/quote]
