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.
I am an equal opportunity headhunter !
I had to attend a three day reeducation session about 10 years ago. When the session began, the black female facilitator opened by assuring us that she had not been given this task simply because she was a black female. The whole room of about 150 erupted into uproarious laughter that lasted several minutes. She was completely off her game from then on and several of us spent the next three days challenging her assertions at every turn.
She was nearly brought to tears on several occasions, particularly when she said that Malcolm X wasn’t a racist and she was excoriated by about twenty guys, including several blacks. She also told us that blacks and hispanics love their families. I told her I was quite find of my kin as well, in case that wasn’t in her notes.
