The study released by the Network Contagion Research Institute found that 'some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion.' This highlights a troubling consequence of extreme diversity and inclusion training, suggesting that such programs can increase racism rather than diminish it.
A significant finding from the study indicates that exposure to narratives claiming 'Racism is everywhere' can lead individuals to perceive racism in contexts where no evidence exists. This phenomenon indicates how certain DEI training approaches may backfire, exacerbating the issues they aim to address.
The New York Times opted against reporting on this important study, as insiders indicated that the editors were concerned about risking backlash from their own staff, illustrating the tension between media responsibility and internal ideological pressures.
Roughly half of the U.S. workforce has participated in DEI training in recent years, but the negative implications highlighted by this study call into question the efficacy and consequences of these initiatives, especially in corporate America and government.
