Carmen,
It’s always good to hear a voice of reason on big-media. Thanks!
One of the callers had a comment which I often hear, and is almost never directly challenged. It was something like, “racists are still going to be racists, no matter what you tell them”. IMHO, every comment every person hears has some effect, to either support or tear down a belief. The effect of a single comment may not be externally noticeable, but that doesn’t mean it does not exist. So in the case of racist views (which we can consider negative), the more comments that tear down those views, the greater benefit to society. So I totally disagree with the caller’s “dangerous” assumption.
Keep up the good work.
PS. I would have liked to hear a longer description of your ideas on diversity training, since I’m going through training right now at my big-company.
