I'm just trying to wrap my head around how skewed a poll taken by "a diversity consultancy" would conclude that: "... two-thirds of adults in America want to be able to discuss racial-justice issues at work."
I imagine it depends on how the question is framed.
No one wants to be fired for merely mentioning the top news story of the day in office conversation. And sometimes it's a "racial justice" topic.
On the other hand, I also don't think most people want to be forced to detail their exact racial-justice views in the office or feel pressured to openly support something.
One of my favorite examples of "how the question was framed" is from ~5 years ago. They asked one group if they were in favor of Obamacare, the other if they were in favor of the Affordable Care Act. Turns out the ACA polls better.
Honestly I haven’t really had any bad experiences discussing these issues in person, but when I read the dumpster fire known as Twitter it makes me not want to get involved
Coming up with a poll question where any answer you give will be interpreted as support for the pollster's politics is an art. I totally believe that poll. A lot of those people probably wish they could express an ANTI-work opinion at work, but we'll never know how many because the poll was designed to not reveal exactly how popular or unpopular woke politics are.
I think we would all like to be able to safely discuss most things anywhere. If you ask the question a certain way, it might not so much about about 'the desire' but the 'right / ability' to do it without getting fired.
