Re: Coca Cola Confirms Training Employees ‘Try to Be Less White’
#2Is there actually a good, logical argument for doing this kind of thing, or have people just lost their minds? I think it's the latter, but I'd love if someone could steel-man the other side.

A lot of job shit doesn't make any sense. What does make sense is I don't get to eat if I don't have a job, and I don't have a job if I don't put up with the job bullshit. For some people that's sitting through 8 hours of videos on how to properly pick up a box so they can get that UPS hub job where they never once actually lift a box like in the videos, for others its sitting through 8 hours of diversity training so they can go back to the office and continue to treat everybody like they did before, for better or for worse.
At the end of the day, I think it's bullshit, but I'm still eating.

#4"To be less white is to: [..] break with white solidarity"
All other forms of ethnic solidarity are encouraged, so how viable is it for whites to act as enlightened aracial individualists?

There are some prominent books on anti-racism. I haven't read them myself but that's where I would start.

The issue is that there is a power imbalance: since, in the United States we are living in a white supremacist society, ethnic solidarity among whites exacerbates the power imbalance, whereas ethnic solidarity among non-whites helps correct the power imbalance.
Eventually we could get to a world where no ethnic solidarity exists at any level but until power imbalances are corrected, not speaking and acting against white supremacy is just asking for the status quo to be upheld.

Speak for yourself and be my guest to confess whatever racist stuff you think you engage in regularly.

I edited my comment to clarify that the white supremacist society is the status quo in the United States. It also exists in some other countries. Certain countries have other supremacy issues; I've heard that in China, Han supremacy is a huge problem, but I can't speak to that as I haven't been there.
If you live in the US, and you don't see white supremacy, I encourage you to pay attention to what non-white people have to say about their experiences.

Branding everyone who disagrees with you a white supremacist is not a good way to win supporters to your cause.
I encourage you to de-program yourself by paying attention t what those who have different opinions have to say about their experiences.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
The issue is when you reduce people to nothing but their "color".
