We have been trying to fix mindsets, kind of hoping that would help in giving everyone equal opportunity. Sadly enough, I’m not particularly optimistic about diversity training, per se. Our minds are actually kind of hard to fix. I suggest an alternative, and argue that we should take bias out of our systems instead.
