Great talk, it was nice to see someone being honest about their blind spots.

Great talk! Thank you, Helen. We learn everyday no matter how old we get. I have personally enjoyed listening to this video as it opened my eyes about realizing my own blind spots. Thank you!

Great talk. While I agree that managers could be more inclusive of non-English speaking direct reports, there is more than a lack of inclusiveness going on. If the non-English (or non-native-English) speaking counterparts are new to the US culture, the culture difference is huge. Even the most inclusive manager may not be able to understand or miss the message when the newcomer is trying to communicate some of these elements. It's not only in how English would be used differently by non-native speakers, but their mindset, and their non-verbal language. Eye contact, body language, and tone of voice (briefly discussed) also play into the inclusive manager's ability to understand in such situations. Language is only the tip of the iceberg.

[@RagnarBlox]

+Jennifer Kumar - Totally agree. You also have to make sure you don't become guilty of the "checking off diversity box numbers". I mean it should always be the best person for the job no matter what.

Interesting speech

[@williegates627]

I love how she says "80% of the people who take IAT cannot help but label men with careers and women with home." She never mentions that the IAT tests have NO CONTROL GROUP to see if that thought process is really an implicit bias or if that thought is just a knowledge of cultural stereotypes. In other words, the IAT never gets specific enough (scientifically at least) to call it a bias, although the supporters of the IAT continue to call it a bias as though its somehow settled science. (Hint: It is very much not, especially with its 60%-90% error rate and correlation rate of 26% (when the APA has published guidelines that valid tests must have correlation rates of above 70%.))

I judge people as individuals based on their own merit. In 2019, I am being told not to do that, that instead I SHOULD judge people by their innate characteristics. Apparently making positive assumptions about anyone who is not a straight, white male is the way to be inclusive. I'll pass.

[@julia8028]

It's not about making positive assumptions about anyone that is not a "straight, white male", it's about recognizing and eliminating the implicit bias you may have towards someone based off the assumptions you've made off of them solely due to their appearance/ what you THINK you know about them.

Good talk Helen. I've also traveled for years and always have noticed the pilots. But I can say that a female pilot has never bothered me. To me I just want the best person for the job. Plus she's flying her own life up there too! ;)

[@Khalikhalzit]

If a Western company with a diversity department opens a branch in say, South Korea, are the majority Korean staff required to take diversity training? What if a branch is opened in Africa? Also, how are our cultures being shared sitting in a cubicle wasting away in front of a computer? What if a black or Latino doesn't like being being one of the few non-whites and just mingle with blacks and Latinos? What if everyone is afraid to talk and the atmosphere becomes altogether tense and boring?

Neurophathways do not "cause" indifference or antipathy or bias. They are correlated with those judgments.

[@thomasblake3633]

The reason that the mental picture of a pilot in the US is a military veteran of a certain age, is that they largely have been since the dawn of commercial aviation. Military pilots have a fast track to those careers because they already have logged so many flight hours. To fly a big plane, you have to have a LOT. But there have not been so many military pilots in the US since the end of the Vietnam war. Hours spent controlling a drone in modern conflicts do not count. For women of the same generations, they would have had to have a very unusual string of opportunities (not to discount the hard work) to end up in the pilot's chair of a 757. Now airlines complain that they will have a dearth of pilots as the last of the Vietnam veterans retire. So the airlines have to actually start training people who don't have the tremendous amount of privilege and money required to learn to fly privately. God forbid the airlines lose the handout of the government doing that training for them.

[@edkemp3882]

great talk, very well worth considering the fact that we all have unconscious bias whether we know it or not

[@karolinakalakarmaza8271]

Great talk - thank you 😊

[@KxNOxUTA]

My in-group is tiny, but that's cause my empathy is very high function and my brain is deep processing and I'm challenging it A LOT, especially i the past years. And I catch it often when it does that funny stuff. So I find myself needing lots of down time and just few people close to me, cause each person is "a lot of work" in the most positive sense. When I'm in touch, I wanna try my best. It takes time. It's a big shame that our modern scietiesachieved what ancestors dreamed about. Yes, dispite enough affordable food and living space (technically speaking, not practically speaking) we've not slowed down to use more of our capacities for self-care, community care and environment care. We've thrown ourselves into the productivity limbo! I'd wish that the pandemic had tought people some more about the value of connecion and time spent with people. What being with yourself means, in quality and how often we do tons of things and none of them well. I'd hope it would have taught us - again, really - how bad balances are and how the ever same groups get hit by things the hardest, while also often being the most serving and important to societies. Particularly so in times of crisis. I wanna see this better world that I bild in and through myself on every single day. A step at a time.

Individuals have a limited capacity of inclusion. There'll always be a point that you cannot include anything else. English-speakers have a hard enough time understanding each other. Include any other foreign language, and everything grinds to a halt. And that goes the other way around too. Try going somewhere where English is not spoken, and see how much the English-speaker gets included. I wouldn't call that a blind spot. It just doesn't work. If you want to be included, you need to know how the group operates, or learn it. "Non-inclusiveness" can be attributed to either the group closing its doors (to over-population, or whatever), or the outsider not wanting to join. It doesn't have to be because of any "blind-spot". Don't confuse this with de-humanizing someone with the attempt to expel someone from a group to which they already belong (humanity).

[@knelledkismet]

i would have put illusion on the end of the title

[@deanweller9614]

I just watched a meeting uploaded on KZbin today that was likely meant to be inclusive but was actually the opposite and I honestly feel physically sick because it. I want to puke.

[@mujaku]

Logically, diversity is never without differences. Look at our senses, for example, such as seeing, hearing, smell and touch. They are always diverse. In light of this, the crazy D&I propagandists should drop the term "inclusion" and substitute "unity." It makes more sense. Without unity diversity sinks into tribalist groups. The interactions of these diverse groups can easily become hostile since they lack an overarching unity. Religion and/or nationalism are what act on diverse groups to unify them while still allowing for differences. With unity, diverse groups harmonize and cooperate. With just D&I there is an ongoing struggle for power - even me against all. A tribalistic ethos soon develops. D&I is a giant step backwards into tribalism: all tribes against all tribes - individual against individual.

Inclusion isn't inclusive unless it is for the benefit of all those who are in need. Is catering to one gender and race okay? By definition if one is wrong they are all wrong. You don't correct the wrongs of past by excluding others today.

Look at all these words in the title - too many. Too much distraction from other major problems, like war, inequality and unregulated banks, neo-liberal profiteering and more. Can we all MOVE ON, to have a common GOAL, instead of backbiting?

[@dharmahopkins4388]

Perhaps go watch a tedtalk on those subjects instead of being bothered this on isn't talking about it? Diversity and Inclusion is a valid issue and arguably one of the reasons that no we can't All move on and have a common goal. It's because the psychology of in-group& out-group and biases that we discriminate against the "other" and until we work through that the issues you brought up will continue
