Quote:While DEI is supposed to lead to less bias and discrimination, the study found that diversity training actually caused more.
For instance, in the race-based experiment, the researchers divided 423 Rutgers University students into two groups. One group was given an essay about corn production. The other read excerpts from Ibram X. Kendi’s book “How to Be an Antiracist” and Robin DiAngelo’s book “White Fragility.”
After they read their respective selections, participants were given a race-neutral scenario in which an admissions officer at an elite university rejects a student’s application.
Those who read the DEI-inspired material were more likely to believe discrimination was at the root of the decision – even though the student and administrator's race hadn’t been mentioned. In addition, these participants were more likely to think the administrator deserved to be punished.
As the study states: “DEI narratives that focus heavily on victimization and systemic oppression can foster unwarranted distrust and suspicions of institutions and alter subjective assessments of events.”
