Implication

Four-year ethnographic study reveals exploitative diversity practices targeting Black women educators in a public school, highlighting how predatory DEI deepens workplace racial stratification.

Key Points

  • Predatory DEI exploits the personal and professional resources of racially minoritized educators, exacerbating workplace racial stratification under an antiracist alibi.
  • Three distinct operational facets—goal perversion, time theft, and role conflict—facilitate predatory inclusion while placing unsupported burdens on Black women educators.
  • Observations and in-depth interviews across a four-year ethnographic project reveal exploitative diversity practices, highlighting persistent workplace racial stratification.
