I had a colleague who did a big presentation on implicit bias in medicine and education. There are a few measurable outcomes that improve when black people are treated/educated by black people. Their proposal was more diversity training for non-blacks. During their seminar, I asked if this effect was seen for other races, and if there was any evidence that the intervention they suggested worked. The answer was no to both (the answer was actually that diversity training can lower scores on the IAT but that they didn't follow doctors after an IAT to see how that affected medical outcomes). I said it sounded like they were making an argument for segregating black people. That went over like a lead balloon.
