Part 2/13:
The Controversy Surrounding Diversity and Inclusion Training
Reports based on leaked documents and whistleblower accounts reveal that some companies are engaging in DEI programs that explicitly, or implicitly, target white employees as the root of societal racism. For example, AT&T's training reportedly encourages employees to recognize their own complicity in systemic racism, with some resources suggesting that “white America” should confront its role in perpetuating racial disparities. Such messaging can be perceived as accusatory and divisive, leading to concerns about fostering resentment rather than understanding.
