I’ve taken some really good ones that put you in other peoples shoes. I’ve also seen some people do super insensitive stuff at work before.

Agreed. Also true for sexual harassment trainings and other "trainings" in the general bucket of "don't be a douchebag to anyone, mmkay, thanks."

my sister trained as a nurse&got seriously pissed off that they spent more time in the classroom 'learning that its wrong to be racist' than they did with patients. as if racist people are gonna go 'oh yeah i liked being racist but now i know you dont like it ive changed my mind'

Diversity training manuals exist so a company can, when facing a lawsuit, point to it and say, "see...".

This might be true much of the time, but I've heard reports of some programs that seem to rise to the level of psychological abuse.

But if you're not willing to lie, and if it puts you on notice that anyone who wants to can end your career with a complaint, then at the *very* least it serves to create a hostile work environment. "Voluntary" sessions create checklists of "allies" (and therefore "enemies").

You have to be *very* secure, as well as legally well-advised and incredibly sure-footed, to actually do anything but assent to the lie and thereby become part of the pressure on others to do so. And because that is the case, it is a serious disability imposed on "minorities."

I think unconscious bias recognition training actually does make a difference. Piecemeal and gradual, yes, but over time it adds up to more inclusive workplaces and organizations.

Unconscious bias training is pseudoscientific nonsense.

maybe that's backwards. diversity training doesn't produce less racial bias, it itself is a product of a less-biased workplace. it's not effective as content, but as signaling device. everyone can say "that was useless" & subtly accept a multiracial order.
