All the studies I've seen show that "diversity training" simply doesn't work, or even makes people more bias. It seems to exist solely to prevent lawsuits.

Just one example https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/how-we-work/201203/d...

The one thing scientifically shown to make people less racist, which unsurprisingly isn't promoted by management, is unionisation https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ajps.12537

Unionization at work, integration in the neighborhoods and schools.

Yet the same people advocating this "decolonizing" nonsense are also advocating segregation. The reason is that they need racism to continue. It is, for them, the axis around which the perpetual struggle must turn. Therefore, we can never acknowledge progress toward stamping out racism, nor permit ideas that help end it (like Martin Luther King Jr.'s notions on color-blindness, which are now vilified under CRT).
