Diversity is a self-imposed tax on institutions who embrace it.
it means that you feel bad for some underepresented group of people, so you shoot yourself in the foot to make up for it.
Diversity is a Liberal concept that allows programs such as racial quotas to exist and giving Fundamentalist Islamic practitioners the right to speak about overthrowing America's current system and replacing it with Shari'a (Islamic) Law.
"Oh we have to tolerate other views than our own." Remember 9/11? Remember the attacks on the US embassies?
It is a form of self-hatred or guilt for America's success, created in part by the softheads who dominate the American Left and part by those who loathe America. Diversity is an abomination created by the Politically Correct. There is no need for it. Merit-based performance is what matters.
It could well spell the doom of the West, not just the US of A.
It's the same thing as having two choices: A full bottle of water or half a bottle of water - and choosing the latter.
you know how when you go to your local 5k there are the good guys who beat you, the not so good local guys who also beat you, and the really crap guys? that's a pretty diverse bunch right there

the430miler ripoff?
nice, troll
it means affirmative action
college catalogs always say they have a diverse student body. My college friends say that in the cafeteria students sit according to race with NO mixing .On my track team there are no distance runners or weight men.
Yeah, the same thing with the US Military. It is diverse and integrated but whites hang with whites, blacks hang with blacks and they only mix when forced to do so. You can force diversity on people but you can't change human nature. People will always feel most comfortable with people like themselves.
People innately want to hang out with others who are like them. HOWEVER, we have created a country that is multi-racial and have, through discourse and written law, decided therefore that it is in our best interest to learn to accept, appreciate and embrace our fellow citizens of other races. It IS the right thing to do, so we MUST learn to do it.

Diversity, I believe, is an old old wooden ship.
Wow...I guess LetsRun.com really did turn into the Young Republican's Club...
...but he wants to date Chelsea Clinton. Diversity perhaps?
Your point? I don't recall the initial poster referring to races.
Nice try, though.
At my job and these issues are a constant pain in the keester. I cannot number the times a day's work was disrupted owing to someone making a fuss about their 'special status' and how the suffered from disparate treatment.
Mostly, and oddly enough, these were people who had a major allergy: to work.
Diversity programs allow the slothful to get away with it.

I am often persecuted because of my looks. Guys call me all sorts of names like pretty boy, faggy , etc. Girls just treat me like a sex symbol and assume I am shallow and a "player".What should I do?

Kill yourself.
I have to admit you are one of the more entertaining trolls on this board. Your grandiloquent utterances not withstanding however, you are most definitely not rich. I would guess upper-middle class, at best. On the off chance you actually happen to be wealthy, you must be "new money." Anyone who has a long family history of wealth knows it is vulgar to talk about finances.
Keep up the good work.

I don't know why people on this thread seem to all equate the word diversity with affirmative action or similar ideas. The word "diversity" just means that a variety exists. It doesn't imply that any special action has taken place in order to achieve this state. In many cases affirmative action is used with the goal of achieving diversity, but they aren't the same thing.
