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 15:24 comment added Jivan Yeah quitting jobs might be a bit extreme, I must concede.
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 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...
