So every now and then, HR mandates that we take CBT (computer based training) courses to enrich and enlighten ourselves on the corporate world

Today's course is on "Valuing Diversity and Inclusion" in the workforce
One of the slides is as follows

As a member of that group, I got a good chuckle at the term "people of color" in a training course that's there to teach us to value diversity.

I don't have the numbers anymore (Aharami, you were supposed to take that training weeks ago! :) ) but at one point I counted the races and sex of people in the training, the majority was all minority women.

today's the last day to take it. I got emails from my boss, my boss's boss, the director of our group, a visit from my boss, and a call from HR all within the span of 30 mins. I guess they dont like people waiting till the last min to finish BS courses. Have some projects to deadlines coming up and totally forgot about this course and the sexual harassment one.

heh. I see you really took your time with this CBT if you counted the faces :p
I just flew thru it till the end and answered the Q&A. Pretty simple stuff

I believe "people of color" is a term that black people are ok with. At least in this area they are. I've talked with a number of folks that refer to themselves as a "person of color". To me it sounds a tad pretentious, but is there some older negative connotation I don't know about?

I'm a person of color -- it just happens to be a whitish-pink. The only people who aren't people of color are albinos, but they could argue that white is a combination of ALL colors so they qualify, too.

I also disagree with the term "native American". I was born outside of Chicago -- I'm native to this country. ;)

Every person is a person of color. I don't know a single "clear" person. Unless companies are employing ghosts now.
