Because a few dozen terrorists have snuck onto planes and killed passengers, we respond with the TSA.
Because a few thousand violent criminals have gotten across the border into the USA, some want to build a border wall.
These are both examples of treating an entire population as pre-criminals due to the actions of a few. Now, I’m certainly not saying that a day of sensitivity training is the equivalent of cavity searches at the airport, but it is similar in kind if much less so in degree. The assumption is that every Starbucks employee is a potential pre-criminal with respect to racist behavior.
And yes, I am well aware that there is a view, to which I do not subscribe, that every white American is a potential pre-criminal with respect to racist behavior. For those who subscribe to that view, the Starbucks day of training is not only a good idea, it perhaps should be made mandatory and more extensive for everybody.
