May 28, 2021 at 22:54 | comment | added | Jivan | What you believe to be an innocent racism-awareness seminar is a lot more than this, at least that's what the perception of the OP is. He is as cautious about this seminar as you would be about a pro-racist seminar. Many comments/answers start from the assumption that the racism-awareness seminar is necessarily a well-intentioned thing. This remains to be established and shouldn't be the default assumption. | |
May 28, 2021 at 22:24 | comment | added | Flater | "I'm not attending a racism awareness seminar because I wouldn't theoretically attend a pro-racist seminar either" is the polar opposite of a sound argument. By that reasoning, no one should ever do anything unless they are literally willing to do anything. | |

May 28, 2021 at 14:25 | comment | added | Sneftel | If this answer was just the first paragraph, you'd have a +1 from me. But the advice for the OP to quit their job rather than go to a training session, and the meta-commentary, are each making a lot of bad assumptions. | |
May 28, 2021 at 12:13 | comment | added | Jivan | I’ve read your other comments and appreciate them. I was simply giving another perspective, that people are free to take or not take. | |
May 28, 2021 at 12:06 | comment | added | Levente | And, matching trigger with trigger will help in finding a consensus? Yes or no? — Look, if you are confused about what I want with this, look for my other comments in this thread. | |

May 28, 2021 at 11:53 | comment | added | Jivan | The chosen example is pretty much on the same level of triggerness as the OP’s topic is. Indication of that is the polarity of comments and responses. | |
May 28, 2021 at 11:47 | comment | added | Levente | Your example illustration contains strong trigger concepts / words. Whatever point you are trying to make, in a sensitive, emotionally loaded environment like this, I think, you shouldn't expect that those trigger concepts / words (combined with the confrontational stance) don't derail the thinking of many: automatically leading to / inviting disagreement and challenges, en masse. For this reason I believe, this is not the right vehicle to make a point in this thread... | |
