When did diversity become an ethic?

Couldn't agree more.

I have the answer to your question, but you'd think it's a "crackpot righty" answer, so you would be better off avoiding such issues and remain comfortably enveloped by your cloud of ignorance.

Look at Nature and see diversity is a mandate. Species do not survive without genetic diversity.

Yeah, but they also survive because of the sameness they have that makes them more fit than something without that sameness.

Actually, no - no, we haven't.

As such, the premise of your question is FALSE and your question is essentially vacuous.

Try something else. You do seem to be able to form complete sentences so I'd hate to lose you as a troll around here.

Diversity is code for Islam.

Seriously dumb post ^. Come on, you CAN do better.

hopefully MUCH better

As a sub-point:

"Diversity" is very often mis-used. Near my hometown, all of the public schools are nearly 100% Afro American, and all of them perform well below the state average (in a below average state, lol).

The talking heads in the school board love to bring up the diversity in our public schools. There is no diversity. The population of these schools are nearly homogenous. They say "diversity" when they really mean "a lot of minorities", not taking into consideration that all of the minorities are the same race.

(However, there is a magnet school in the area that is one of the best academic schools in the NATION. This school is made up of white, black, and every shade of brown you can imagine. (They take pride in this; the theme for one of their dances was "Fifty Shades of Brown, lol.) My point is that diversity can be and usually is something to strive for, when it is actually diversity.)

Could be about understanding the limitations of one's own perspective. That if you have people with different backgrounds and experiences, they are going to see more and allow for more varied solutions to a problem.

Just take the situation of job hiring. Mostly people hire people they feel comfortable with. This makes society unequal in terms of demographics in the long run. So diversity does become something of an ethical moral imperative.

It became an ethic when companies became so big that they had to/could cater to all kinds of people. At the same time women, Blacks, Hispanics, etc got more money and thus became interesting consumer groups.

Ummm, if a society can't tolerate diversity it becomes divisive.

I don't know about diversity becoming ethic. But the law should be equipped to protect people from harm of racism/discrimination/etc.

Diversity sounded great until we all discovered that other cultures suck even worse than whitebread/western.

"Diversity" is a euphemism for non-white. White = bad. That's the kind of society we live in now and we have the left to thank for it. Enjoy.
