One study looked at 800 companies, and found that after companies did trainings, they actually came to have FEWER black managers.
How is that possible? Erec Smith, a former DEI trainer, now a Professor of Rhetoric at York College, tells me: “It seems to be making people less likely to interact with people who are unlike them … because it’s like a minefield now.”
He explains that the trainings can make people so afraid of saying something wrong, that people just avoid each other.
“If you ask somebody what they do for a living, somehow that’s racist, right? If you learn that, then why would you take a chance?”
