    It almost sounds like diversity is the racial jungle that Joe Biden didn't want his kids going to school in

    I like diversity when it comes to people who have something to contribute I find interesting. Not so much when they are just an annoyance with nothing discernible to offer or hole up on their little safe space. I live in a diverse neighborhood, for instance. The couple Muslim households are the only ones that seem standoffish. Everybody else will at least speak, wave, etc.

    Whats holding back Native Americans?? Other than hundreds of years of genocide & discrimination that decimated their community, and the legacy of it all.

    Same with white people. No deliberate system or obstacle targeting them. Never ever has there been.
    Why so obsessed with color?

    Show any system that targets any skin color.
    There's none legal in USA today.
    Why do you keep bringing up this black skin thing?

    I am asking you very simply how black people today are purposefully being held back. And you have yet to demonstrate anything.

    As expected.

    I did, and you dismissed it. As expected.

    Because as I proved...that's not a thing. You get that right? It can't be practiced. It was struck down by the supreme Court in the 40's. Ffs.

    All it is, is a hold over of what once was in the past.

    I am asking for something in the present time.

    Did I say diversity is a bad thing?

    I sure as xxxx never said anything about a all white USA.

    The leftists got this religious belief that "diversity" is always a good thing. That's like saying tolerance is always a good thing. But it's worse than that. The kind of diversity the media is pushing is superficial diversity of skin color.

    Do you claim an assortment of colors to be a suitable substitute for an assortment of skills or an assortment in thoughts?

    Americans rarely differentiate between people from Sri Lanka and people from Japan, calling them all ‘Asians’. Similarly they call everybody from Morocco to Mozambique ‘Africans’.
    Perhaps it would help those people to define ‘diversity’ before discussing it.

    "What wrong with that? They all look the same to us" - says the the leftist race hustler.

    That the key to leftist diversity, the appearance of diversity. It does not matter if everyone in the room is an accountant, they are diverse if they are different colors and look different from each other. Talking to them instead of looking at them might introduce an entirely different reality.

    The first part of this post makes no sense as a response to what I posted.

    Later you seem to be saying everybody is an individual person once you talk to them, which I agree with if I understand you correctly.

    By the same token there are no homogenous groups like ‘leftists’.

    I met a Russian guy from Kazakistan who anybody looking at him might swear he must be Asian. He's as Caucasian as obama's mom. The looks ain't decieving so much as it is the human mind doing what the human mind was built for- looking for patterns.

    It does not matter what your accountant looks like. It does not matter if they are wearing a suit and tie or blue jeans or a clown suit- I still know I am talking to an accountant.

    it was said that the Clinton cabinet was a model of woke diversity. A Jewish midget socialist. A hispanic socialist, an African American Socialist, a white lesbian socialist, an Italian-American socialist, a Japanese-American socialist et. a bunch of people who didn't look like each other, but all thought pretty much the same way

    Lol...tell that to a jew in 1930s Germany. The best way to "lose" cultural diversity is to eliminate those who are different.
    And you truly misunderstand the concept of e pluribus unum.

    A better word to use would be inclusiveness. If you are genuinely inclusive by default you will have diversity.

    I misunderstand E Pluribus Unum, you say?

    Well then there is nobody better than you to explain it to me.

    I don't think you can explain it yourself, so go ahead and give it your best shot.

    Or maybe, just maybe, homogenous societies aren't absolute proof of anything.

    So, there's no program you can share?
    Just a person's opinion?

    Very likely true.
    Diversity means having different experiences. Different cultures. Different ideas.

    Colors of skin isn't what diversity is about. It's the life experiences each different person brings to the table.

    Don't come at me when you back one of the most racist governments in recent history.

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...d-communities-through-the-federal-government/

    "Sec. 2. Definitions. For purposes of this order: (a) The term “equity” means the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality."

    See white on that list? I don't. Don't say it's under the banner of "all individuals" As the definition is very clear to give a LONG list, detailing what and whom they mean by underserved communities exactly.

    See it's defined more clearly here;

    "(b) The term “underserved communities” refers to populations sharing a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, that have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life, as exemplified by the list in the preceding definition of “equity.”

    "particular characteristic." Meaning - not whitey -. Whitey can be poor or underserved...this bill targets to help everyone but whitey.

    So reading this executive order... They have clearly defined who they refer to as "underserved community". Set out to give you a long list of all those included. Omitting whom it is exactly NOT referring too, and those groups get government hand outs. Whitey? Well whitey has "privilege" so he can stay poor and just work his way out of it on his own.

    Racist.

    The policy should just target poor communities and anyone who is in such community REGARDLESS of race, ability, sexuality, religion. But that's clearly not the wording here. They go out of their way to define their terms and specifically do not include a particular group of people.

    That's one example.
