But at the end of the day, I'm VERY glad to see it. This is new territory and people are going to make mistakes, but as long as we ensure that it's a conversation, we need more of this sort of thing, not less.
Being forced to chant/repeat/internalize anything isn't a conversation.
Sigh, come on. Corny team-building things in big corporate spaces happen all the time. It's part of the whole deal. Most of these dudes are going to laugh over the corny thing they had to do at work today like happens all the time.
I'm fine if people don't think it's effective, but what's going to happen is a bunch of people are going to get triggered and then entirely overestimate the possibility that this will be dangerous.
It's not, no more than any of the other corporate team stuff that people do.

This will definitely happen, more divisiveness = more clicks.
I would not characterize mandatory redefinition of employees' personal identity based on their racial group as corny team-building.
But hey, I get it, as long as "others" have to suffer it, you don't care.
