Is Google Anti-racism Training real?

Was seeing reports today about "forced" anti-racism training at Google. Are the claims true? White supremacy pyramid, etc.

There is no forced training

Google chnou Sep 9, 2021

Fiction. There is no mandatory "anti-racism" training. What we *do* have is mandatory 60-minute annual anti-harassment training stemming from a 2018 legal settlement (use your favorite search engine).

Thanks for the update! I figured it was mostly BS rumors

They aren't forced but I guess that if your team has a lot of ideologically possessed people, you will get peer pressured into it.

It’s only “forced” if you are a manager or employee who has been reported for insensitive comments. A guy said something along the lines of knowing who the real engineers were and was rightfully so reported.

Yes
