Well this is good. Two old men who don't understand diversity training trying to explain to each other what diversity training is, while confirming they don't like it. It's like an episode of The Fast Show. This week I been mostly eatin' yoghurt. 🫠 LOL - I think everyone here who has had a job has had to sit through enough of the mandatory diversity nonsense to know exactly what it is all about Some spotty nerd straight out of Uni droning on about 'micro-aggressions' and 'Unconscious bias' make for a riveting afternoon. Mind you the rush to the pub when he finally shut up was something to behold. Meh, it's all online now. Just keep pressing next. Unfortunately working from home means you don't get to go to the pub afterwards though. That's so pre Pandemic. 🫠

So you're saying it's a waste of time and money then?
Having been through similar, I completely agree.

Who would you say will derive the most benefit from attending diversity training? And who the least?

Sadiq Khan is set to spend up to £2.5 million on a new Transport for London diversity training programme. The Mayor of London is launching a four-year push to embed an “inclusive culture” across Transport for London (TfL), Crossrail and the Department for Transport and is advertising for a contractor to run the training. The £2.77 million contract runs until 2028 and will extend to equality, diversity and inclusion programmes across the London fire service and the Metropolitan Police.www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/07/20/sadiq-khan-spend-25m-tfl-diversity-training-scheme/How the hell can anyone with an IQ in double figures possibly say the Met Police needs more diversity? Thanks to diversity quotas 10% of Met Police are functionally illiterate, what's the target? 15% 20%? This is incompetence on a scale I didn't think was possible. However, this is Labour. The truth is he doesn't. His low IQ is intentional. People with high IQs ask a lot of questions and know a lot of stuff. People of low IQs can't run things, so they are happy to receive help.
The diversity program was going to be implicated no matter who the proles voted for. Well anyone but the Far Right of course.

Who would you say will derive the most benefit from attending diversity training? And who the least? Those that require the training are those that treat people differently based on gender, disability, ethnicity, age etc. There are obviously people who don't need that, but there are plenty that do.

I can understand why you would say that, but the only benefit I can see such people (let's call them 'discriminating') deriving from diversity training is that they will be more aware of the legal pitfalls and career-limiting traps likely to confront them, and therefore more able to avoid them.
It's unclear how training can cause them to be less discriminating, they'll just be a little more savvy going about it I'd have thought.
Unless you believe in Damascene conversions, that is.

Does that diverse training also apply to black people some of them find it very difficult to accept white people.

That depends. A lot of discrimination is unintentional.

It is definitely NOT treating people equally as that would entail no knowledge of other people at all other than if I swear at Mr x I also swear at all the others.

That depends. A lot of discrimination is unintentional. After almost sixty years of legislation created specifically to eliminate it it's hard to believe that anyone would be an accidental or unwitting discriminator.
