Conservatives are pushing back against anti-white race discrimination. Mostly, this takes the form of attacks on affirmative action and similar policies. But another important battlefront in the war on woke has opened up against diversity or DEI training and similar initiatives in the workplace and educational institutions.

There are several lawsuits claiming, very plausibly, that ham-fisted DEI indoctrination — the sort of thing where Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility is required reading — amounts to “hostile work environment” race discrimination against whites. That might seem like a paradox, since diversity training is one answer, created by the law, to racial and other forms of harassment.
