Racism in Workplace Discussion
I found the scenarios given to be very helpful and glad that we were given opportunities to make choices and see how they play out. I also appreciate the emphasis on inclusion, and how important it is to recognize diversity in the workplace.

The scenarios were very engaging and realistic! I did not realize how often I see these micro-aggressions in the work place. Its as if I have become so numb to certain comments that I forget that these behaviors are inappropriate. And even as an employee of color I can acknowledge some ways that I can stand up for my co-workers and myself.

Great
I think the course was very well put together. It really emphasized the ignorance that white people can have. It also emphasized that whether or not it is intentional, this ignorance of white people can have lasting and devastating impacts on literally any other group of people. It is difficult to recognize your own bias, privilege, or impact but these videos brought up really great scenarios and examples. It was very well thought out, organized, and portrayed. The fact that it was from multiple points of views really emphasized the impacts of certain actions and different perspectives of everyone involved.

Disappointed
Respectfully,
This program had potential but once again made black people out to be aggressive and the white people the hero of the discrimination. Why is it that the black manager when "what she wanted to say" portion came up it was portrayed as aggressive and not professional in almost every interaction? Why is it that the black man was the only "racist" that had gotten reported and had to go to a program. The other white professionals all were consulted by friends and fellow coworkers. Only in one instance was the white manager of the housekeepers was reported and fired but not the female manager, the lead doctor, the white men in the cafe, or the white female nurse. None of these roles had to go to a program and formally apologize to the people of color they were racist to.
This is was upsetting to watch. What a shame that the people who created this program for all staff required to take, continue to paint black people in a negative "aggressive" light all while proclaiming its a start to "dismantling racism". I cant imagine that I'm the only person of color who was upset by this module. Do better.
White people should not make modules to dismantle racism when majority don't even see it or feel it.

Liked Multiple Perspectives of Content
I liked that we were able to see the injustices in the workplace through four different perspectives. It is hard for some to imagine what others go through if they are not in the same position themself, so this interactive setting painted a clear picture of how injustices may occur and the impacts they have on patients and employees in the hospital setting.

recognizing your own racism/bias
I found the videos very helpful in recognizing my own bias and found myself reflecting on past interactions. Addressing racism and especially microaggressions is challenging and takes courage; often times the offending party is not aware of the effect of their words. It takes skill and practice to address and confront racism and I concur with prior comments that "training classes" would certainly be beneficial.
