RE: Diversity? Seriously? That is what you call diversity? No wonder I hate when I hear someone say diversity these days.

Personally, I can't stand diversity purely for the sake of diversity. While there is value in exposure to different cultures and ideas, most of that value is lost if someone is forced into that situation.

For the most part, it is human nature to want to be around people who are like you and who you share values and commonality with. And you know what? That is OKAY. It does not make you a racist or a bigot to want to be around people you are comfortable with.

Personally I think this whole concept of forcing diversity down people's throats is creating a backlash. I never used to think about anything in terms of race, but the identity politics culture is currently inescapable these days. It's very annoying to constantly have other people on a soap box preaching at you when you are literally minding your own business and trying to just live your life.

You should think more about things in terms of race, because racism is real, I was blessed to see it in one of it's most in your face forms, the treatment of the gypsies by the Romanians, a racism that is actually pervasive throught the world against the Roma in UK and to the rest of europe, and all the way to their very begining of the lowest class of the low class in the ancient indian hierarchy still in force today.

Forced diversity can become racism as well. When diversity becomes "anything but white" then that is still racism.

Race doesn't matter one iota to me. I don't actually give a damn about race.

I care about who you are, and I don't see that as defined by skin color, or race. Your mind, your personality, your beliefs, your creations, your destructions. These are all important to me.

True diversity cannot occur if those things are homogenized into everyone thinking the same or being treated as "Racist" simply for disagreeing. That isn't diversity at all. That is conformity.
