"Diversity" training on the job

[danwxman]

I can definetely say I've worked at a few places who had none and really needed it.

I'm talking about managers and other employees who are blatantly homophobic and/or racist (they usually go together)....how do they know I'm not gay, or have a black girlfriend or something?

I'll admit most of the time I think "diversity" training and the like is bullsh**t, but I think it's actually needed, especially in conservative areas like the one I live in where about 50% of the workforce is lazy white racist/homophobic trash.

Sounds like you need some diversity training on how to get along with 'lazy white racist/homophobic trash'...

I get along with them fine...these types of people are the ones who need fixin'.
