That's the headline of a recent New York Times op-ed by Jesse Singal, the writer, podcaster, and author of a 2018 Atlantic cover story, who delves into the multibillion-dollar diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) industry. While its advocates claim that "diversity workshops can foster better intergroup relations, improve the retention of minority employees, close recruitment gaps and so on," Singal writes, in practice there is "little evidence that many of these initiatives work." And the type of diversity training "that is currently in vogue—mandatory trainings that blame dominant groups for D.E.I. problems—may well have a net-negative effect."
