You are clearly consciously biased and at no risk of being unconsciously biased. Skip it.

"Every month is [white/straight/christian/male] month" they say.

Micro-aggressions get micro-apologies.

The other day I happen to be in the vicinity of supervisors at my job when they were attempting (with some difficulty) to hang the rainbow flag. I just kept going about my business with various scenarios running through my head of how not to get fired if they asked me to help. It was a close one.

I have the same type of personality, and I took the class because it was also required here at work. Honestly, it was nothing more than a check box for the company to say they trained their employees in racial bias, nothing more. I sat there the whole time and didn't participate, but since my name was on the roll, nothing happened. The good thing about the class is it talks about what we all already know: profiling people when you don't know them is a survival mechanism, and it isn't a bad thing. The class simply tries to bring awareness to that bias.
So, take solace in the fact that it isn't some kind of social programming.

I'd want to ask some inconvenient questions like what kind of unconscious biases are you including? Because I can think of hundreds of them. And if you're only talking about a handful of them, why only these?
How will being aware of my biases help me engineer better solutions? Should I also break AI models because they are biased the wrong way?

Yeah, it's not really interactive, think of it more as a presentation or a seminar where you just sit and listen. There are a few activities, but they don't really matter. I sat through them and didn't participate. No one really cared.

Have you seen the fat nigger feminist types that get paid $600 an hour to put those things on? I just couldn't do it anymore.

The guy that ran the one I attended was a Brooklyn Jew, but yeah. I'm not saying I was happy about attending the fucking thing.

Don't worry maybe some of the faggots including your boss will start second guessing if the ligh is really red or if the subway is still subject to Newtons laws.
We also dont have a pride month, we have millenias which can be seen by 99% of shit you use daily (100% if you live in an urban area)

Good, don't attend any of this shit as planned. Meanwhile, why not look for another job?
