Or, as it is called: "White Fragility Training". Found this video on twitter and loved it, especially the last part.

LMAO. Spot on.
They should have covered the Khoisan Language (click language). Like every minority knows not to go there.

I've been a white person all my life...that line of thinking is INSANE. You'd have to have a gold medal in mental gymnastics to feel that way.

Holy shit! This was great, haha.
That was hilarious. Loved the retro work training video format.
Sorry if I'm wrong by doing this, but I don't think I would ever discuss the actual amount I make or got a raise with a coworker. Is this something a lot of people do? I'm not disagreeing with the point they were making with that section.

It's pretty un-kosher, but I think it's unhealthy.

Personally, I would want to know if someone else is doing the same job as me but getting paid more. And the reasons they are.

Maybe you should be closer than co-workers before engaging in such behavior.

How can the average neogaf minority poster avoid a potentially hostile situation?

I saw this on Twitter last night. I.... have to do this at my job everyday so this video was on point 😂😂.
You raise good points. I think I've always gone along with it for my own purposes, worried of finding out that people that seem unworthy of making more than me actually do and having to deal with it. Maybe if everyone knew what everyone made it would make the salaries more based on merit? Or would it make it too cutthroat? I don't know and I guess this really isn't the thread for this conversation.
Oddly enough this belief has been ground in to people as a norm. However, this 'social norm' is being used against all of us.
Whilst I think it is rude to ask someone you barely know or have just met their salary. However it is absolutely okay to ask these things with co-workers and should be encouraged.
In fact people should at the least be willing to do this anonymously. It only benefits everyone but the company when you know what a job pays and what you should expect monetarily from certain jobs.
I know from personal experience no one has been uncomfortable talking % pay raises or general pay ranges in my career. Most of us have had the same career arc and we have a general idea of what yearly raises were and how much we got paid for our jobs. So it was more about figuring out where we all stood in the range, accepting that we all had different circumstances, and then using the shared knowledge to improve everyone's lot. I felt bad when I found out 2 buddies were making 10% less for a similar position than I did. When they found this out they realized they could have been more aggressive in asking for money, and when they both got promotions they were both extremely aggressive asking for pay raises. Having that knowledge empowered them both.
There are a lot of reasons people don't ask, personally I find them all silly and limiting;

Regarding salary discussion among peers:
In my experience, discussing salary is often frowned upon, and in some cases against company policy. HR positions it as "harming unity" or some such bullshit, but really it's to make it harder to form unions.
In the context of the video:
It is probably an intentional meta point to show how white people are more concerned about the taboo salary discussion than the discriminatory attitude that the salary discussion reveals. (I'm not saying this is you)

Knew it, White sensitivity training is going to be a thing to joke about soon.
I'm really kidding, but hey weirder things have happened.

As somebody who recruits talent for a living, of course people are getting paid more to work the same job.
