#3The quote in the title of the article is really an inappropriate way to try to describe inclusiveness. It’s not about being less, it’s about including others more.

Whether they produced it or not - if they were requiring new hires to sit through it, they've got some ownership of it.
If the goal was to get people to be thoughtful about intentional or unintentional stereotypes they may hold, this was about as poor of a way of approaching the subject as possible. Starting out by telling every white person they were racist by the age of 3 is a pretty outrageous claim and a great way to shut down any constructive/thoughtful conversations about race.

#7> Nigel Farage, reform UK leader and senior editor-at-large for Newsweek's "The Debate," also criticized the racism training materials.
Of course he criticised it.

It's worth noting that this sort of racially divisive workplace training has been made the subject of a recent executive order, banning it for all federal contractors. So this might be a good move from LinkedIn.

The response to the videos certainly seems like it is that same fragility in action.

For you maybe, do you speak for everyone else? There are definitely a lot of people who want to reduce whiteness, not just include others more. A concrete example is media capitalizing Black but not white in reference to people. There's also this statement that apparently you would agree with, yet many people got upset by: "It's Okay To Be White". There's even a wikipedia article on it. Inclusiveness is not the same thing to everyone
