“How to Protect White People's Feelings in the Workplace”

Finalist in Humor

Objectives

To finally have an open conversation about racism by dealing with a bigger issue at stake: white sensitivity.

Strategy and Execution

A satirical office training video that can help people of color understand how best to react to some white people's sensitivity to racism. 'Cause sure, racism for people of color might mean being pulled over by the police or passed up for a raise, but for white people it means feeling bad! Simply utilize our S.I.L.E.N.C.E. (pronounced "sill-ence") system and you can address white fragility about racism in the workplace.
