Have you ever praised a white man for his open-mindedness and sensitivity?
‘Have you ever found yourself complimenting a Black person on their ability to articulate well?’
No, but our Vice-President has!
I don’t know whether its that I’m getting older or maybe it’s the whole boatload of crap coming out of Washington these days, but I find myself having less and less patience with this Bull-sheetrock. As always the article makes no mention of how a white male might be offended.
I just wish we could close HR. The most useless department in any company and the source of this kind of BS in trying to justify their jobs.

I do not require diversity training because unlike our politically correct human resources professionals, I know precisely what “diversity” is: a condition, not a value. As your employer, I do not care what color your skin is, what your gender is, or where you came from, as long as you can speak the language, wear clean clothes, shower more than weekly, and do your job to a minimum standard of proficiency. Any additional requirement is most likely a form of intimidation by the state for the purpose of procuring unearned benefits.
