The Stupidity Of Diversity Training

Apparently It's Now Racist To Expect People To Show Up On Time

According to diversity training materials being disseminated at publicly-funded
 Clemson University, expecting people from other cultures to show up on
 time is racist. 
Yup, racist.
The university spent nearly $27,000 on diversity training materials from a
company called Workplace Answers. Those materials were graciously
 intended for employees of the school in order to indoctrinate them.
I mean, for them to learn from. 


One of the online slides depicted two groups, which included foreign professors
 and students, showing up to a scheduled event at 9 a.m.; one group came 15
minutes early and the other came 10 minutes late. The slide made the assertion
 that it would not be the inclusive thing to do to chastise the group that was late,
since people must "recognize cultural differences that may impact the meeting
and adjust accordingly.”
The Daily Caller reports
One slide features a guy named Alejandro who plans a meeting

between two groups. Each group contains foreign professors

and students. One group shows up 15 minutes early. The second

group shows up 10 minutes late.
A question-and-answer section then instructs Clemson’s professors

that Alejandro would be insufficiently “inclusive” if he were to

“politely ask the second group to apologize.” Alejandro would also

be wrong to advise the straggling, late people who aren’t

respecting everyone else’s time that “in our country, 9:00 a.m.

means 9:00 a.m.”
The “inclusive” thing for Alejandro to do, the taxpayer-funded

diversity materials instruct Clemson professors, is to “recognize

cultural differences that may impact the meeting and adjust

accordingly.” Alejandro must understand “that his cultural

perspective regarding time is neither more nor less valid than

any other.”
In other words, some foreigners are incapable of being on time and Americans
need to shut up and accept it in the name of diversity, or something. Of course,
such low expectations of those from other cultures is truly infantilizing stuff,
but this is how the Left views any minority group. 
These ingenuous and expensive slides were reportedly approved by
Clemson Chief Diversity Officer Lee Gill. It's unclear what a
 "chief diversity officer" actually does, but Gill apparently gets paid big
 bucks for the position, raking in over $185,000 in tax-payer funds
 annually.
The training materials are not mandatory by definition, but Clemson
 President James Clements said last year that “all employees will
 participate in diversity education and training,” notes Campus Reform. 
One such employee, a professor who skirted sufficient indoctrination,
 leaked the insane diversity slides to Campus Reform.
