[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both publications were founded upon and furthered DEI.

DEI perpetuates racial divisions rather than fostering unity.

Further, the mandatory DEI training required at most universities has been shown to increase prejudice among participants, rather than ameliorating the problem.[/quote]

The idea that diversity, equity and inclusion perpetuates racial divisions is itself stunningly obnoxious and racist.[/quote]

PP is right that there is evidence DEI trainings result in increased prejudice in the trained populations. Whether or not you find us noticing “obnoxious and racist.”[/quote]

What evidence is that? Don't be like this ditz of a Bible Thumper and expect us to take your word for it.

Cognitive dissonance is hard. DEI training should help people move past internalizing the messages and see the world from other perspectives. I realize some people are too shallow and stupid to do it, but that doesn't make the programs less valuable, it just helps us self-identify the bad people who need to be ostracized from society. If your reaction to DEI training is to say, "Well I'm not a racist! I'm a good person" then you're missing the point entirely, and might just be too bloody stupid to get it ever. This is useful for us to know, of course. [/quote]
