I don't have to wonder who the real racists are. They parade it daily. Just did the 'sensitivity training' module in the guise of a 'team building' video at work. The 'offended' in the video included a black male, a gay guy and a latino/white (?) chick. Most of the crew there is pretty young, so I kept my thoughts to myself, but soon the guys were saying stuff like "snowflakes on parade" and wondering why straight white males don't ever get to be offended. The inherent racism in the whole thing being the subtle message that hetero males (not of color) are the offenders and can't be victims. The concepts could have been presented without the whole racist overlay in less than half the time by just pulling out The Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you), and reminding people that we're there to get a job done for the people who patronize the business. It would have been more valuable to focus on how important each element is in the team, and that each task is essential, rather than the SJW stuff. The good part is that the 20 something guys in the crew saw this right away without me saying anything,
@Smokin Joe Great summary, and matches my experience with this kind of training in recent years.
My employer has gone totally off the deep end with this crap. We now have these entitled, leftist women (sorry ladies, but they're always women in my experience) whose sole job function is to push this crap. At least one in every department, so probably hundreds of these leeches across the company. I sit through almost every diversity or protected-group awareness event they invite me to. It's often painful, but I want to hear their perspective as well as keep an eye on them.
I attended one "panel discussion" that consisted of six black employees. One of the interesting moments was when one of the panel came out and specifically rejected the concept of a color-blind society. In his opinion, this was a bad thing because it takes attention away from the unique experiences he had as a black person, etc. etc.
For me this comment was real confirmation that the goal of people who are pushing this isn't equality of opportunity. They want special treatment, and not just as a temporary measure necessary to compensate for the effects of past oppression.
