That doesn't explain why ERG's exist for that, and it doesn't explain why they are dismissive of what people who are white && and not women encounter in life or as an employee, seeking resources

Why are you invalidating their experience, its look like you have let something else leak into the workplace under an amusingly ironic interpretation of empathy

Let's write it again in a different way: Nothing about the name "Employee Resource Group" suggests that "state-sanctioned disenfranchisement at some point in the country's history" is the only reason or prerequisite for an employee seeking resources

Looks like an another race and ethnicity settlement is brewing

Look, they had a whiskey drinkers ERG when I was there. For people that like to meet to drink whiskey.

I'm not sure what OP actually proposed, but I'm reasonably sure he's not telling the whole story.

Thanks for the context
> Why are you invalidating their experience

What experience are you talking about? What resources are lacking that don't address those experiences?
