[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Diversity” is a fraud—a shallow attempt on the part of wealthy powerbrokers to preserve their elite status. That is, they embrace the façade of diversity, bringing in a few black folks (not too many) to beef up the stats that can later be used to promote the school. Black and brown students are later exploited by the powers-that-be. For example, a few might be gathered for a picture, later to be posted on the website. Others might be part of a student panel, paraded on open-house nights to prospective parents. In return, they might be given a ”safe space,” a class on Black-lesbian literature, or some other breadcrumb, but nothing that reflects a genuine commitment to the educational welfare of Black students.[/quote] I wonder what these "Black and brown students" would think about you describing them in this way.[/quote]
