What does "unconscious bias training" actually teach?

The modern regressive leftist ideology is invading more and more aspects of western society by the day. This invasion takes multitude of forms, and social justice academics have for years been hard at work to invent new ways to make it happen.

One tactic that has seen an almost scary amount of success is introducing the concept of "unconscious bias" into the public awareness, and to introduce "training" to make people aware of it and "better themselves" into all kind of institutions, corporations and workplaces.

The whole "unconscious bias" thing is nothing but, essentially, a scam based on shoddy research (that even the researches themselves have pretty much disowned), like so many other such claims (such as the infamous "one in five" women experiencing sexual harassment, when the actual number is much, much lower than that, which even the original creators of that study admit and warn about). But social justice activists don't care about facts. The "unconscious bias" thing is a powerful weapon they have to infiltrate society, so they unashamedly use it.

In theory "unconscious bias training" ought to make people aware of their own prejudices against other people based on them looking different. In practice, of course, and as always, it tells white people that they are all being racist against non-white people, whether they know it or not. Even the least racist white person you can find will nevertheless be racist because of "unconscious bias".

But that's not, in fact, the answer to the question I pose in the title of this post.

The real answer is actually much more insidious than that. What this "training" is actually doing might not be intentional (from the part of the social justice activists who invented it and are advocating for it), and it may only be incidental and serendipitous, but it's nevertheless much more devastating and much more effective for the social justice ideology.

The main thing that "unconscious bias training" eg. at workplaces and coroporations is doing in practice is not teaching people to see racism in themselves, in their own behavior (it's part of it, but not the main part). What it's actually doing is teaching people to see racist behavior in other people.

It's a rather insidious way of teaching people to do that. By insinuating to these people "you have an unconscious bias when you do this or this or this", what they are actually teaching them, even without realizing it, is "when you see somebody doing this or this, that somebody is being a racist (and thus you should do something about it)".

In other words, it's teaching people to become paranoid and to see racism everywhere, and to consequently become social justice activists. It's social justice activism training and indoctrination in disguise. It's training people to see racism and discrimination where there is none, and making people into activists.
