H*ll no! That should be taught at home.. I thinks it is a total waste of time. You'll never educate the racism out of a racist. In every ethnic race there had always been some form of racism. I think it is here to stay.. And no, I am not a racist, I'm a realist. People will continue to be people.

Exactly!! This 'racism' play has gone on long enough, here in america, everyone has a chance to make it successfully, using race as a stepping stone is getting old and being called a racist for noting that success is measured through hard work is also getting old. I am a realist, I study the facts, I see the results of giving.. Give and give and eventually giving becomes taking. I feel that nows the time to practice equality from all sides, unfortunately, some groups may not like equality at all once they find that it involves working equally as well. Learning to accept those with a different belief and morals than yours is also important, being equal does not mean forcing me to follow your beliefs making me equally to you.. This will never happen. (I speak of 'you' in the third party-- Not talking to you directly)

Many corporations, agencies, and government entities make it part of orientation. There are lots of legal issues that can arise from discrimination or harassment of any kind. It's logic we should already know, but employers have a tremendous amount invested in "cover your a**" .

Simply working with a group of largely diverse peoples will give you quick diversity training.

First of all, diversity training involves more than race; the premise of the question is incorrect. In order to capitalize on the benefits of diversity by creating an inclusive workplace, diversity training must address other major differences such as age, disabilities, gender, etc. 2.)The purpose of diversity training is not to do someone a favor, e.g., the under-privileged. Training explains how it is in everyone's benefit, especially the company's, to value diversity and capitalize on the advantages it brings. 3.) Diversity training does not create diversity. Diversity training is really addressing how we manage the diversity that is here and growing. There is much more that could be said, but hopefully, this answer will broaden the discussion.

My diversity training began a very long time ago. I am the living result of all of the worlds diversity training by being born into thousands of families over the entire history of the human family. Look back into your own past, beyond your own birth throughout the biological and personal history of all of your families to Adam and Eve, Andon and Fonta, and even to the first frog. We all have done that and more. There it all is and you think …..diversity training is needed. Yep….yours, my child.
