    What is your opinion of the current meaning of diversity?

    It seems to mean raising up the blacks at the expense and exclusion of all other races. Especially whites and mean that certain races should be paid just for existing.

    Do you believe that this is correct or should it be the inclusion of all races in the society?

    What does diversity have to do with elevating any group above another?

    It iis not true diversity if you try to exclude one group from another to make your claims, it is racism.

    Diversity means variety. I don't understand your response.

    Time to end AA and support
    quality over "diversity".


    AA was good decades ago. Not in the 21st Century

    Why not diversify professional basketball.
    Not enough short guys. Nor Jews. Nor Asians.

    Oh I know! :woot: Diversity good ;)
    More "straights" in the entertainment industry.

    Does your definition of "variety" include forbidding the inclusion of all different groups and races in favor of just one, thus excluding a chosen few?

    Of course not. That's what variety means. It includes *differences*.

    I'm glad you were specific by mentioning the current meaning because the meaning has definitely changed and today it mostly means no while people or no men.

    Here is a story which backs up what I said:

    And this is a picture put out by the Huffington Post where they specifically prided themselves on their diversity.

    The left has changed the definition of diversity just as they changed the definition of racism.

    Yet anyone different from what certain groups declare normal are ostracized. How is that "inclusive"?

    See how certain groups reject any that differ from what they declare to be the norms. IE, BLM.

    Apparently, certain groups don't understand it either. Meaning that their claims of diversity are false.

    That is not what diversifying means.

    Historically, all groups outside of white, Anglo-Saxon and male have been rejected and ostracized.

    You aren't using the correct definition for the word.

    Do you always try to wiggle out of facts, or is this just a special occasion for you? You supply your own definitions, for the most part false, and insist that others are wrong and their divergent thought should not be tolerated.

    Denying facts does not support your views, it merely shows how intolerant you are.

    Do you always try to start an argument about subjects you haven't bothered to research? I did not *create* the definition of diversity unless you think my name is dictionary.com. Hint: My name is NOT dictionary.com.

    Further, you are the one who is intolerant. You are upset because society is becoming more diverse and inclusive of others.

    Have you even bothered to look at society, or would that destroy your delusions?

    Rioters, usually from BLM, crying to kill all whites or at the very least make them succumb to the minority wishes.

    The desire to lay claim to geographical areas with the idea that only one race can live there?

    The hate on daily display from rioters who will only support others who wish to destroy society?

    Your name is obviously not dictionary.com, or you would realize that your definitions are wrong and possibly racist.

    I'm not the one deluded here.

    That's asinine.

    White people have been killing and colonizing any area they want to take over since the beginning of time.

    If you bothered to step outside your myopic view, you would recognize the protests and riots are being orchestrated and televised for the purpose of continuing division.

    That makes absolutely no sense. Again, I didn't write the definition. You need to take that argument up with the writers of the dictionary.

    It's to specifically value the difference in skin color and sexual tastes.

    A healthy way to value diversity is diversity in experience, knowledge, skills, and thoughts. A lot of what the left SJW types use to define and identify with people are material and meaningless.

    Diversity is a marxist hoax to destroy white Christian western culture

    What was the definition of diversity during the decades of Jim Crow?

    Did you know that there was a time African-American men were not allowed to play professional basketball? They said African-American men weren't physically capable of playing the sport.
    Too bad that myth didn't hold up, huh?:roflol:

    Where? In a tiny corner of the world? The white corner? Because it wasn't happening on the greatest portion of the planet, where the greatest portion of humanity existed and still exists.

    Meantime .. HISTORICALLY. As in, not today.

    Perhaps we should consider outlawing same skin tone marriage. Then, soon, everyone will look less diverse... Lol

    Diversity seems to be the wrong word for what you are trying convey. Diverse means a great deal of variety; very different. A population with people from many different backgrounds and different races would be a population showing "diversity". If some people in that society are included or excluded, treated better or worse does not change the fact that society has diversity.
