Confidentiality tempers me to be deliberately vague, but I must say: we have this client who is of decent size, and in more than one country, and they love our work, even in those other countries. People have this thought that international businesses don't need diversity and inclusion training.

Those people are wrong. In the face of those people's wrongness, we are making money, helping people, and changing the world. Perhaps I can say...don't hate the player, don't even hate the game.

I would think that international clients would need more diversity training, given that they deal with not only different subcultures, but different cultures altogether.

Totally true! but one very common response is that "diversity is a U.S. problem. that it's an 'american thing'" For once America's concern with this stuff could be wise, showing some leadership.
