My experience exactly.
I was “allowed” to bypass the class after the initial introduction of meanings of diversity etc including African American, Mexican-American, Asian American, Caucasian-American ............management wanted me counseled. I refused and told em I did so on the recommendation of my lawyer. Diversity Class was a training class, to discuss the issues what was and wasn’t allowed in the workplace.
They opened the discussion and didn’t like my questions to the point that they said I was disruptive........they don’t want answers then they shouldn’t ask questions IMO.
I asked em to point out on the flat earth society globe they were using the country of Caucusia. (The Caucus Mountains maybe ?)
Second question I asked was why the curriculum is never taught by a white male ?
Third question was how much do they make with their “Keep the Hate Alive” course they peddle ot corporate america ?
A gazillon ways to dislike a person before you ever discover what their color or sex or country of origin is...........words , actions, etc pretty much paint the picture as we see here on FR. Race cards are for losers.....
Transactional analysis , I’m Ok, your Ok....BS / PC theories of Maslow, Demming, Black belt & Diversity training etc ....waste of time. I don’t allow my folks to attend socialist training crap.
If your lazy, unreliable, unproductive, disruptor, dishonest, trouble making sh*t stirring POS etc then you don’t work for me. Regardless of race, sex, religion or age.
