I’m in the US and my company had an online diversity training. One of the sections was about microsgressions. It would have these little cartoon scenarios where a microagression would take place and it would explain why it’s a microagression. Of course, in every scenario the person committing the microagression was white (shocker) with a very stereotypical white name. but my mouth dropped open during the one where the white person in question was depicted as a white woman named “Becky” where Becky says something ignorant to a Black coworker. Not sure if you know this but in the US Becky is a well known slang term that very popular among young Black people to describe a basic ignorant white girl. The companies who put these training together are run by “POC” - not only do I think that whoever created it knows what that word means, but I think using that name was done very intentionally and antagonistically know full well that any white person who catches on wouldn’t feel comfortable in saying something. The complete irony of doing a training on racial microagressions while simultaneously using pejorative terms to describe the white people in the skits is a great representation of this entire movement.

I worked in HR for 42 years. When I was a young HR professional I met a man who owned an engineering firm. When he learned my occupation, he counseled patience in dealing with employees who after all are people and people are imperfect. He said that he could follow his best employee around for 8 hours and find 8 reasons to fire him. So when I hear that an employee who openly opposes DEI was fired for “justified reasons” unrelated to his opposition to DEI, I don’t believe it.

I hate rainbow flags. They really are annoying to look at. It's not about what they stand for. I just don't like rainbow flags.

[@WinkLinkletter]

I love the rainbow and the visual spectrum and the range of color we can see in general, scientifically and aesthetically; it meant simple joy to children of all ages and was a gateway lesson for all kinds of physics phenomenon, and I very much resent it's being co-opted to ALWAYS mean 'queer' now. They love to sh*t on anything nice and established, plus just taking things plays in well with their low tier creativity and half baked efforts. However, I would never wear a gaudy rainbow jacket or anything, regardless of implications. That bright, happy stuff is more for kids and ladies, in my fashion opinion. Not a tie-dye guy, either, but at least they haven't been conscripted to mean anything definitively twisted, as yet.

Sad part is, this is what was intended, I cannot believe we fall for the divide and conquer over and over and over again.

I had to go through a month long disciplinary procedure for being "racist". The manager made the complaint on behalf of another member of staff who apologised to me and said they didn't want any of this to happen. After the month, the case was dropped with no penalty being applied, but they made sure to drag it out as long as possible. The HR woman had resting bitch face when I went to pick up the outcome, so they obviously were not happy that they had to drop it. I had been in the job for over 20 years and nobody had had a problem with me in all that time before this incident.

“Mandatory” training on Racial Bias and Micro Aggression was introduced at my workplace (a university) and we were told we had to undertake it as a matter of some urgency. The outside speakers obviously had their own agenda which they could merrily preach at us but when I expressed an alternative view on one point I was accused of having “white fragility” and asked to stay after everyone else left. I was told that my speaking up was inappropriate, may have made others feel uncomfortable. I told them that their whole session made me feel uncomfortable. I fully expected to be reported - and I obviously was because my line manager later has a word later when she expressed her disappointment in me. I don’t know if it would have affected my career or not as I retired shortly after.

In Australia the Australian government has asked their employee what their sexual orientation is which is actually against the Australian Privacy Principles. Staff were also asked if they believed there were more than 2 genders. Under the law the government cannot ask their employees anything that is not directly related to their job but in this instance, under DEI, they broke that law to gather information that will be given to ACON, which is Australia's version of Stonewall. The Australian government is so embedded in DEI, specifically gender identity, the government will overtly break its own law to profile staff. They said the survey, which contained these questions, that it would be anonymous but they asked sufficient questions about the staff member completing the questionaire which you could reasonably expect that most staff could be identified. This is abhorrent that our own government knew they were breaking the law and then when confronted by it said well it is a DEI survey, which means nothing, there is no exemption in the Australian Privacy Principles so they blatantly broke the law. And so has most corporations signed up with ACON who have given the same survey to staff as the APP's apply to government and industry that has a turnover of more than 3 million. We have a government and industry that are breaking laws to profile people.

I worked for a major national charity which was very keen to have minority groups represented in their trustee boards, management and employees. I live in London and I'd say it's fairly easy to recruit from a huge selection of minorities. My colleagues in rural areas found it excessively difficult to recruit from such a wide range of minorities since the numbers available are quite small. What one could do is recruit people of different age groups, income groups, profession and class etc, and of course men and women.
