Though this demand for an answer wasn't aimed at me, let me say that I don't understand what "get rid of their whiteness" could possibly mean.
It looks to a layman like myself that you are demeaning any attempts to sensitize people to the plights of other groups of humans.
Demeaning this kind of thing is bad behavior, unless you have some very specific things to criticize about a particular program.
To brush them all off as "losing your whiteness" is suggesting that racism is part of that whiteness that you don't want to part with. Meanwhile, it should be the only thing that these programs ask you to part with, as well as your ignorance of the experiences of people from different walks of life as yourself.
