your posting imaginary arguments and he could of also just been celibate
Celibate is another way to phrase it. But he wasn't into women and he wasn't into men, he wasn't into sex, he was an Ace, no matter what word you use.

It has nothing to do with whether he can "handle" 2 meetings. It's that meetings or lectures on diversity are stupid and not needed at all. Like I can sort of see how these might be useful if you work with a lot of minorities on a constant basis, or if you are in a customer service role that requires you to interact with the public. But if his job is to install electrical system then these meetings don't do anything for him except to annoy him.
You also need to prove how these meetings train people to become better employees. To me it seems they merely make the white male workers more apologetic and fearful around minority employees.
It seems like they are needed because people are still struggling with the humanness of people who don't look like them, dress like them, or fuck like them.

Slippery slope from nowhere to nowhere. If they are bigoted people they are already mentally ill to start with and probably making other bad judgements at work.
It doesn't make white males more fearful, maybe less creepy in general. They still don't get it a lot, because people with these attitudes have little insight.
I'm not sure what you're fearful of. Just don't grab someone's ass or call them a racial word.
