Wharton School Publishes Research Claiming Minorities Can’t Trust White Colleagues
As a solution to racist white colleagues constantly attempting to undermine their minority counterparts, one of the ways encouraged to deal with this issue is for companies to “[transfer] power to the minority individual.”
In a recent discovery by CriticalRace.org, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania published a faculty research project claiming that minority workers have “legitimate reasons” to suspect that their white colleagues have ulterior motives for their helpfulness in the workplace.
The project, titled “When and Why Allies Hinder Minorities in the Pursuit of Workplace Equality,” was completed by faculty members associated with the Wharton Identity, Diversity, Engagement, Affect, and Social Relationships (IDEAS) Lab.
“Workplace discrimination remains a toxic force for historically disadvantaged groups such as women, blacks, and Native Americans,” states the working paper.
“Conventional wisdom tells us minorities will have an easier time if they have allies in a dominant group; for example, heterosexual white men, who wield much of the power and influence in large U.S. companies. But how does this play out in real life?”
The working paper goes on to claim that research findings show that a white manager is more likely to intentionally promote a minority to an “ill-fated” position in order to seemingly support diversity in the workplace.
“We assert that minorities often have legitimate reasons to suspect that dominant group members have ulterior motives,” says the research.
“For instance, a manager feeling pressured to support diversity might promote a minority into an ill-fated position. He thinks, ‘I can place this young black man in this situation where he probably won’t do well, and I still look good for promoting him.’
The IDEAS Lab features numerous related faculty research projects revolving around identity-focused topics, such as the projects “Why Is It Still So Difficult to Cultivate Diverse Leaders?” and “Overcoming Prior Discrimination: How the Stories We Tell Ourselves Can Help.”
As a solution to racist white colleagues constantly attempting to undermine their minority counterparts, one of the ways encouraged to deal with this issue is for companies to “[transfer] power to the minority individual.”
“For example, one company wanting to create inclusiveness for transgender people brought in a transgender outside consultant rather than trying to shape that environment themselves,” states the research.
Wharton has recently been in the news for falling to second-place in the U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of the best full-time MBA programs.
This change in rankings was primarily prompted by the school’s “sizable drop in Wharton’s three-month employment rate” after graduation. While the school still ranks among the top five in several business school categories, research that can be construed as promoting racial division can draw attention away from its core mission of preparing students for successful entry into the workforce.

oh but if you see the violent one(s) coming you cant say that and have to act like they peaceful
black male aquitted by reason of insanity
A Tarrant County judge acquitted a man accused of attacking two men in Fort Worth with firewood while naked, killing one man and injuring another, according to court records.
Judge Vincent Giardino found Chrisantus Omondi not guilty by reason of insanity in the January 2024 killing of Scott Jackson, a grandfather who was delivering firewood to a Fort Worth home ahead of a winter freeze.
The solution to the example of a ‘white manager pressured into supporting diversity (aka promoting minorities) then placing the minority into ill fated positions’ would be to ….stop pressuring for ANY/ALL promotion decisions and hiring decisions to be about anything other than merit. IOW stop using immutable characteristics to discriminate for or against. It really is that simple.
Do you doubt that the guy was actually insane at the time, and incapable of understanding that what he was doing was wrong? Just the fact that he was naked in January in freezing weather should be enough to support that conclusion. The fact that he brandished a key and claimed that his victims were trespassing on his property is another good clue that he had no idea what he was doing.
thats even more reason to keep him locked up
acquittal is the true insanity
He is locked up. He’s being transferred to a state-owned hospital.
Wharton too? Count me unsurprised.
Such a load of crap. Literally damned if you do and damned if you don’t,
Ok I have an easy solution. Don’t hire other than white heterosexual males. They do most of the work anyway. Let minorities and women form their own companies and good luck to them.
Actually it’s been a while since I worked and hired but I long since came to the conclusion that it was crazy to hire women (too disruptive to the work place and its culture) blacks (most often below average in abilities) or foreigners (most often less trained, less educated, less abilities, different culture and never fit in well),
While a person may be a minority when considering the racial makeup of the nation as a whole, in many cases certain “minorities” are actually the majority in many work places.
In that case the term “minority” is a misnomer and the theory of racism actually works in reverse.
This how they explain kamala loss as DEI candidate?
Some say it was lack of money. Kamala spent a billion dollars in 107 days. If they had spent 1 billion a day they would’ve had a much better chance.
Total Spent Campaign: $1,154,978,762 Other Groups: $839,559,258 Total: $1,994,538,020
People claim that she lost because she didn’t have time to be known by the public.
In fact her polls peaked about 15 days after the end of the convention that made her nomination. If she would have had another 107 days she would have lost by substantially more.
Harris wasn’t nominated. She was appointed candidate after the democrats forced Biden to drop out of the election.
That is not true. Biden dropped out before the convention, and Harris was duly nominated by the delegates at the convention.
They cannot trust them? As in “that guy’s not objectively trustworthy”? Or the don’t trust them? As in “We’re a bunch of untrusting racists who think Da Man is out to get us, but you’re legally required to cater to our paranoid BS”?
Let’s use the Supreme Court as an example.
On the one hand, we have one of the finest and longest serving justices in the history of our nation, Clarence Thomas, a black man who endured a “high tech lynching” during his confirmation (led by that paragon of racial tolerance, Joe Biden).
On the other hand, we have Justice Jackson, a jurist who was chosen specifically because of her gender and skin color (again by Joe Biden) that, if she were a straight white man, wouldn’t qualify to be a janitor at the Supreme Court.
So, spare me the lecture on racism. If you’re good, you’ll be accepted regardless of your skin color. If you suck, you’ll likely blame others for your shortcomings, usually pointing out your skin color.

It’s all accounting for the effects of having an average IQ of 86 without mentioning IQ.
Does your hobby horse ever cafe your crotch?
This is such utterly corrosive, toxic and evil Marxist/Maoist/Dhimmi-crat propaganda garbage and poison.
Wharton willfully descends into the gutter/sewer, just as the University of Pennsylvania’s undergraduate school has done.
And the rest of the Ivy League.
Now do a study of how much whites can trust minorities, or indoctrination centers calling themselves colleges.
You guys are missing the point.
It’s been shown that affirmative action doesn’t work in colleges or anywhere else. But for college in particular, it’s easier to show. If you get points for race instead of academic skill, you end up in a school you’re not actually qualified to go to or one you can’t compete in. Affirmative action students in that situation last a semester or two, then fail out or quit. Had they gone to a school based on their academic merit, they would have been able to compete or succeed. But since they ended up where they aren’t qualified, they end up with debt, no actual education, and are much less likely to try to go somewhere else.
In short, affirmative action doesn’t work and actually hurts the people it’s meant to help.
Wharton is trying to counter that reality. They’re trying to explain away the failure of affirmative action by saying whites sabotage minorities. If it weren’t for those dastardly whites, affirmative action would work.
Outstanding analysis…
Affirmative action helps one group and one group only: affluent guilt ridden leftist whites.
Excellent job. I was just warming up to make an attempt at the same argument. You saved me from making a fool of myself.
At all levels of employment you will eventually asked to do something. Something that you training and education credentials say you can do. If you didn’t learn what the paper says you did you will not succeed. At an education provider they adjust the outcomes so the unqualified graduate along side the qualified. The workplace is where the sheep are separated from the goats.
Classic Catch-22: So the minority gets promoted and everyone learns they cannot cut the mustard. Minority complains that he was “set up” for failure.
Alternatively, the manager passes over the minority, fearing him unfit for the job and promotes the hetero white dude, who succeeds. Minority sues the manager.
QED
Every institution has been corrupted. Wharton is no exception. The paper is corrupted research, pure and simple. It’s false.
It has a baked in premise with a preconceived expectation. It is the epitome of biased research bordering on misconduct.
It looks like “The White Devil” is once again the primary source of another demographic’s problems and failures.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
So tiresome.
I am constantly amazed at how much I oppress people without putting in any conscious effort at all. I guess they are going to be really unhappy when/if I do decide to get active.
Is this really saying that we should just give the minority candidate the “layup job” and not the challenging job where they might not be as successful?
Not at all. They’re saying that you should skip placing the minority in the job where s/he might fail. You should instead place the minority in a management job where s/he can make the decisions on who should actually do the work.
Maybe Wharton should also examine Indian companies that tend to hire mostly Indians?
Left to themselves without White interference, Blacks do well in both business and governance. Look at South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, Haiti, Liberia and others. Certainly we have fine examples here in the U.S. with the mayors of Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans, and Detroit.
Oh, wait. I seem to have gotten things slightly wrong. Of course there ARE exceptions, as in the success of…[ City, State, Country] . Let me get back to you
Some blacks do well even with white interference. Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Frederick Douglas, and many others.
And, in actuality, blacks did pretty dang well – often irritating those from whom they had recently been freed – in the period from emancipation to the “Civil Rights” era. They often succeeded in business, farming, artisan work, etc. BECAUSE they had to do better or be left behind. And it depended to a great extent on the culture they took away from their days as slaves. One produced Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Frederick Douglas, and many others. The other produced the sorts of people that “colored folk” living in the North moved away from when they migrated in. (Check out Thomas Sowell’s Black Rednecks, White Liberals.)
Then the civil rights movement came along and broke the trend, primarily by setting the system up to make the culture that did NOT succeed the one that received the benefits. And, as always, what you subsidize you get more of. And here we are today.
Botswana.
An acquaintance who happened to be a Wharton graduate acted surprised when I told him that his alma mater was publicly funded due to government school loans. He was wondering why the cost of higher education was increasing. This was over 20 years ago.
This paper wasn’t written by Caroline Gay and Francesca Gino, was it?
