Diversity, equity and inclusion are everyone's responsibility.

多元、平等和共榮是每個人的責任。

No wonder all big companies now require employees to get training in.

難怪現在所有大公司都要求員工接受培訓。

Because we understand that racial and systemic bias have many causes, sources and ways of showing up within each of us.

因為我們了解種族和體制偏見有很多原因、來源和在我們每個人中顯現的方式。

Even if that's true, do you know what American companies now do to address it?

你知道美國公司現在是如何解決這個問題的嗎？

Some make ritual apologies for America's past.

有些人對美國的過去進行刑事上的道歉。

We want to acknowledge that the land where the Microsoft campus is situated was traditionally occupied by the Sammamish

我們希望承認微軟總部所在地曾是Sammamish族的傳統居住地。

By proclaiming guilt, companies try to signal that now they're virtuous.

通過宣布內疚，公司試圖傳達現在它們是有道德的。

是的，但它實際上是在做什麼呢？

Erec Smith was a diversity officer at Drew University.

Erec Smith 曾是德魯大學的多元文化長。

Why'd you stop being a diversity officer?

你為什麼不再擔任多元文化長呢？

There's a better way to go about doing this.

有一種更好的方法來處理這個。

Useless or not, companies continue to pay big money for trainings.

不管是不是沒用，公司繼續為培訓付出大筆金錢。

There's a whole industry now designed to cater to companies looking for a quick way to check that box.

現在有一整個產業，專門為那些想要迅速完成這項任務的公司提供服務。

In the US in 2020, DEI was a $3.4 billion industry.

在 2020 年，美國的 DEI 產業價值 34 億美元。

They feel like they have to. They have to say something. They have to signal to the world that they're doing something.

他們感覺必須這樣做。他們必須說些什麼。他們必須向世界表明他們在做一些事情。

In fact, it seems to be doing worse. It seems to be making people less likely to interact with people who are unlike them,

事實上，情況似乎更糟，它似乎讓人們更不願意與不同於自己的人交往，

you know, because it's like a minefield now.

After a training where you hear things about microaggressions, if you ask somebody what they do for a living, somehow that's racist, right?

在一次培訓中，當你聽到有關微侵犯的事情時，如果你問某人他們的職業是什麼，這似乎是種種族主義，對吧？

If you learn that, then why would you take a chance?

如果你知道了這些，為什麼還要冒險呢？

I better not talk to Erec because I might say something wrong.

我最好不要跟 Erec 說話，因為我可能會說錯話。

So now inclusion means I'm going to silence myself and not talk to the black people.

所以，現在的共榮意味著我要讓自己保持沉默，不和黑人說話。

Some trainings are just divisive and dumb.

I believe that white people are born into not being human.

It is extreme, but it's becoming more of the norm.

我認為，這的確很極端，但它正成為一種常態。

These slides were shown at a Coca Cola diversity training.

這些投影片是在可口可樂公司的多元文化培訓中播放的。

The thesis of this training was "try to be less white."

這次培訓的主題是「努力讓自己不那麼 『白』」。

They're talking about arrogance and things like that.

But the point is to demonize the other side as much as possible.

關鍵是要儘可能地妖魔化對方。

And absurdly, diversity trainings don't even do what they're supposed to do.

荒唐的是，多元化培訓甚至沒有起到應有的作用。

This Harvard professor analyzed studies of them.

這位哈佛大學教授對他們的研究進行了分析。

Sadly enough, I did not find one single study which has found that diversity training, in fact, leads to more diversity.

令人遺憾的是，我沒有找到任何一項研究發現，多元化培訓實際上會帶來更多的多樣性。

In fact, the Harvard Business Review reports 5 years after diversity training, the share of black women managers actually decreased.

事實上，《哈佛商業評論》報告稱，在多元化培訓五年後，黑人女性管理者的比例實際上有所下降。

It is not about data. It's about a power grab.

這不是關於數據。這是一場權力爭奪戰。

Melt the steel bars of racism and white language supremacy.

融化種族主義和白人語言至高無上的鋼鐵欄杆。

This "expert" tells teachers: it's racist to teach traditional English.

這位「專家」告訴教師，教授傳統英語是種族歧視。

If you use a single standard to grade your students' languaging, you engage in racism.

如果你用單一的標準給學生的語言能力打分，你就是在搞種族主義。

You actively promote white language supremacy, which is the handmaiden to white bias in the world.

你就是在積極推行白人語言至上主義，而這正是世界上白人偏見的幫凶。

I heard that and thought it was a bit misguided.

So Smith wrote a long and thoughtful response, saying it's a disservice to minority kids not to teach standard English.

於是，史密斯寫了一篇長篇、深思熟慮的回覆，說不教標準英語是對少數民族孩子的傷害。

Instead of a discussion, people called you racist.

與其進行討論，別人反而是指責你是種族主義者。

"Do you enjoy using Western modes of argument to invalidate people of color"

「你喜歡用西方的論證方式來否定有色人種嗎？」

What they saw in me was a bigger threat than anything they've seen before.

他們在我身上看到的是比以往任何時候都更大的威脅。

A black person saying it's okay to teach black students standardized English.

一個黑人說教黑人學生標準化英語是沒關係的。

An academic named Eve complained about the harm Smith consistently perpetuates.

一位名為 Eve 的學者抱怨 Smith 一直在造成傷害。

其他學者也加入其中，安慰伊夫。

"Eve spent tremendous labor physically, intellectually and emotionally to write his response and it most probably took him extra time to recover from that labor."

「Eve付出了巨大的勞動，身體上、智力上和情感上都是，寫出回應可能花了他額外的時間從這種勞動中恢復過來。」

I was surprised that that the leader of that academic conference agreed to talk to me.

我很驚訝，那次學術會議的負責人竟然同意與我交談。

If you use a single standard to grade your students languaging, you engage in racism.

Standardized English tends to exclude many groups of people.

標準英語往往將許多人排除在外。

如果他們沒有這樣做，如今的我會是怎樣？

There are absolutely benefits to a standardized English but that same world creates those same benefits through certain kinds of biases.

標準化的英語確實有其好處，但這種標準同時也通過某種類型的偏見產生這些好處。

And they can be bad for many folks who simply are not going to be able to meet that standard.

對於那些無法達到該標準的人來說，這可能對他們不利。

I'm simply saying that I don't think everyone needs to be held to it.

我只是說，我並不認為每個人都需要遵守它。

If they're not held to it, how can they succeed?

如果他們不遵守規定，又怎麼能取得成功呢？

Yeah, I think that they do. I think that they can.

He was much more measured than he'd been lecturing his fellow professors.

他比給教授同事講課時更謹慎。

I think you're toning it down for my audience here because you in your conference speech were all about this is an oppressive country and white racism, white dominance.

我認為你在為我的聽眾緩和了語氣，因為你在會議演講中談論的都是這是一個壓迫性的國家和白人種族主義、白人統治。

I tried to be rhetorical and I tried to use the moment to make a statement.

我試圖用修辭手法，我試著利用這個機會發表聲明。

Your students who do not embody enough of the white habits of language that make up your standards, stand at your classroom doors and die for your comfort.

你的學生沒有充分體現構成你的標準的白人語言習慣，他們站在你的教室門口，為你的舒適而死。

That anger is the norm with DEI advocates.

這種憤怒是 DEI 倡導者的常態。

At Stanford Law School, a judge who'd been invited to speak was stopped by angry students and Stanford's dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

在史丹佛大學法學院，一位受邀發言的法官被憤怒的學生和史丹佛大學多元化、公平和包容性學院院長攔住。

Absolute disenfranchisement of their rights...

The diversity dean lectured this federal judge for six minutes.

多元文化院長對這位聯邦法官進行了長達六分鐘的演講。

Is it worth the pain that this causes and division that this causes –
