I think a lot of these DEI grifters are seeing the writing on the wall and are starting to fear for their jobs and maybe their reputations. This particular one thinks it's only 'old white men' who oppose DEI. In my experience, my 'racialized' colleagues oppose it the most. They can't identify with the weird first world problems like 'misgendering' that these people are hung up on, and they don't want to be tokenized.

There was a study last year showing companies which pushed DEI stuff had INCREASED interracial tension in the office. This spawned a wave of "I'm the different DEI instructor type B which you need to hire to correct the type A DEI policies which were not taught correctly."

I've heard that it gets all the white people in the office who are, what's the word, woke? Not right, overly sensitive and self conscious? That sounds right. Anyway they start tripping over themselves with shit like "oh no I've been talking to black people wrong the whole time!" and from what I've heard it just makes everything more awkward.

Like you don't need answer to, "how do I talk with my black colleagues" do you? Just talk to them like they are normal people.

Dartmouth Scar Study. They gave women fake facial scars before an interview and told them to be take note of the interviewer’s attitude and how they treated them. Then the experimenters secretly removed the scar from the women’s face under the guise of retouching the makeup.

The now scarless women reported feeling like the interviewer was staring and commenting on their scar and that they were being treated differently to how they would be treated if they didn’t have the scar.

The clearest demonstration that when people are told they are victims, they act like victims and detect victimisation when none was there.

The research into DEI, and particularly implicit bias training, seems to be finding similar results. IBT is especially good at increasing racial tensions in workplaces where there was none to begin with.
