Otoh if nonwhites do it, it is hard to distinguish from minority politics, easy to dismiss as ‘reverse racism’, and burdened with navigating the very iniquities it critiques. So despite the presence of grifter consultants (a tax burden) it is the only way, this *could* work.

Not even close to right. There are tons of minority consultants doing the same thing and getting nice sinecures. Just without the added hypocrisy of being whites leveraging it for more privaledge.

Lots of WASPy white shoe law firms and consulting agencies also hire minorities to do this kind of work, especially the large corporation contractors, so it’s both

Yeah, naming no names, those tend to look like protection rackets half the time. A cynical kind of complicity-for-sale. Don’t know which is worse.

My point isn’t that minorities don’t join in the grafting. My point is only whites have a serious shot at actually driving change if they choose to be sincere rather than grifters.
If they were interested in driving real change vice increasing arbitrary power of management to fire existing workers without cause, there would be wholly different strategies than identity politics to invest in workers and develop them. All of which would be beneficial

From a labor perspective these things are usually scams meant to help HR insulate the company from future lawsuits and to create new mechanisms of control though most often just an expensive waste of employee time that no one takes seriously
