Sadiq Khan to spend £2.5 million on more diversity training.

That's where the premise of your 'unintentional discrimination' claim stems from, didn't you know that?

I think you need more diversity training andy. Equality and fairness are different. 

Here's a better analogy I just found from the net.

Ever tried sharing a piece of cake with a friend, meticulously ensuring each piece is perfectly even just to ensure everyone gets an “equal” slice? But what if your friend is an athlete needing more calories, while you’re an office worker sitting in front of a computer all day? Is sharing “equally” still “fair”?

Remember, this comes from the same office that posted this:




Hideously white, hideously nuclear.

It is these kind of people who by and large are sent on diversity training as a type of conversion therapy to woke ideology. 

I've never failed a diversity course yet.

I have however failed financial crime a couple of times...

Well a quick question, you are a manager 100 miles away from 4 staff members and the only thing you know about them is their Nationality, you have an Irishman, a Scotsman, a German and a Kenyan. You have to assign  four positions, a builder, an accountant, a manager and a runner to bring messages back to you. You can only get one message through with the positions assigned. What do you do and how do you assign the positions. I know what I would do with my understanding of diversity and chance, would you do the same? 

You have information, you are management you have to assign on the basis of what information you have. I had many staff over many years and I had to make many assumptions based on limited knowledge. The question is as regards what would you do to give yourself the best chances of a reasonable outcome? It may be totally wrong but totally random is not as good as an educated guess based on limited knowledge. Is that not what diversity training teaches that one should not treat people randomly equal but be aware of differences? 

I was trying to find a definition but the best I got, which contains much jargon, was

"Diversity training is a program designed to facilitate positive intergroup interaction, reduce prejudice and discrimination, and generally teach individuals who are different from others how to work together effectively1. It is an initiative taken by most companies to create awareness of diversity issues and bring about cohesiveness in teams2. Diversity training is primarily a part of the leadership development programs to promote togetherness and level playing field for all"

Now I am not clear how you can teach that other than what people, who have any management skills at all, already know and if people are different, as anyone with any nous at all knows, then what  can you learn to counteract assumptions which is called in this instance prejudice and discrimination.
