Title

It looks to me as though this article is not addressing resistance to diversity so much as resistance to diversity efforts. While these are certainly not unrelated matters, someone may be fine with, say, women in their workplace but still be against making gender a hiring criteria, with fear that it may lead to hiring less qualified candidates, or they may be fine with people who differ from them being in the workplace but against multicultural sensitivity training that suggests that they themselves have to change in some manner. The net effect of these concerns may be against diversity, but it's not what's being resisted in at least most of what seems to be being discussed here (I'm not a psychologist, and there is some real psychologist-speak here that should be addressed in the longer run.) Additionally, its focus on workplace/organizations should be reflected in the title; this article is not covering, say, anti-immigration policies, purges and genocides, etc. So perhaps Resistance to diversity efforts in organizations? --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:08, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you so much for the constructive feedback. I completely agree with the suggested title change Resistance to diversity efforts in organizations and have changed it to better capture this topic! Makotanaka (talk) 00:33, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Strategy

This page is super important, relevant, and very well organized! For me, the most interesting part are the strategies. Some constructive criticism; please explain what prototypicality threat is in the actual "strategies" section. Psychlover33 (talk) 05:38, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your interest in the page. As per your suggestion, I wrote out the definition of prototypicality threat within the strategies section. Makotanaka (talk) 08:11, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Template proposal based on that article

This page is a political manual for some lunatics in the US at best. That collection of prejudice disguised as knowledge only make sense for them.

Wikipedia should make a template to allow everyone to express his opinion with pseudo-objectivity.

Title : "Resistance to MY POLITICS"

Chapter I : "Who is against MY POLITIC ?" : Insert generalization based on statistics and demonetize them with example of terrible people.

Chapter II : "Why are they against MY POLITICS ?" Instead of listening for your opponents argument, insert low psychology analysis.

Chapter II : "How to address the resistance to MY POLITICS" Insert your strategy so that opponent does not notice YOUR POLITICS in action. Assert that it's better for them because again, it's about their self-esteem and not political disagreement.

Example : Title : "Resistance to the muslims ban"

Chapter I : "Who is against the muslims ban ?" : Show that the WAU (White American Urban) is disproportionality against that policy. Show 1-2 examples of urban people forgetting to lock their car that ended up in terror.

Chapter II : "Why are they against MY POLITICS ?" Show that people on the left are in average less preoccupied by security. Advance that they have a need to not deal with security issue and that make them uncomfortable and that's why the policy harm them.

Chapter III : "How to address the resistance to MY POLITICS" Propose to use argument related to the emotional need of the stranger that are afraid of landing in a white supremacist country. Propose to use argument related to the economy and human right. Conclude that because, as less people recognize your politics, less have anxiety that's somehow relevant.

Tone of this criticism could be more constructive less sarcastic, but there seems to be a valid point here. This page reads like an undergrad paper and not like a proper Wikipedia article. 2601:2C6:4D00:3675:F0A7:E2A8:F1E:2252 (talk) 03:50, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Agree. This looks like a "how-to" or brief for special interests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.88.59.121 (talk) 23:28, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Whites

The use of the word "Whites" (not sure why it's capitalised) is verging on the pejorative. 5.81.164.16 (talk) 16:53, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Again, this entire article does not seem to be up to Wikipedia's standards and reads like a position paper. I have added tags questioning the validity of this article. 2601:2C6:4D00:3675:F0A7:E2A8:F1E:2252 (talk) 03:50, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
