To see them visit ourAS EMPLOYERS HAVE tried in recent months to combat systemic racism in the workplace, they have reached for a go-to fix: diversity training. Every company we’ve heard from is using or considering it in some form. But our research suggests that diversity training fails to ameliorate either individual bias or systemic racism.
In addition, systemic bias is not rooted only in managers’ minds. It is written into every component of our career systems, from how firms hire to how they devise layoff lists. It is evident in the common corporate practice of relegating the task of diversity management to women and people of colour, rather than making it central to every manager’s job.

Some might argue that the 'there are better ways' gambit is commonly used to defuse legitimate criticism and delay action till it can be quietly shelved. This is not my first rodeo. Seen it before such as in the question of BDS in
Two realities to training. People will not tell you what you need to know to address whatever they may do that others see as inappropriate but to them they do not think anything of. Number 2 you have to train them to accept people for who they are not who you want them to be.

Indeed, get on it ('it' being the change). Here is a reading list on white privilege (it deals w/ assumptions and other subconscious blockage) that can also help 'cut to the chase,' as they say in Hollywood:
Let’s hope that the AJLUnited have been consulted for this or ANY of the women of colour who have instigated a lot of this type of research. (You could just watch the ‘Coded Bias’ on netflix bc it’ll probably teach you more 4 FREE than this (seeming) white based article will)
