The Faulty Paradigm of Tolerance
Say “diversity training” and many people will immediately think about learning experiences based on a paradigm of tolerance and sensitivity. This approach made sense 25 years ago when more women and racial and ethnic minorities began to enter sectors of the U.S. workforce once dominated by white males. As they did, they encountered intolerance and insensitivity. Hence the birth of “sensitivity training,” which was aimed at teaching workers how to be tolerant of differences. It was appropriate for the first generation of diversity work.
