[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what are we to infer from this thread?  Many whites do not value diversity?  You just tolerate non-white people?  And that you'd be equally as happy to be at an all white institution.  I find this utterly depressing.

Also you keep asking if we are in more "woke" times, but for many of us, this is our current reality. I don't want to send my kid to a school that only has 3% of other kids that look like him. That sounds horrible.[/quote]

It means that people value other things more than just what their classmates look like. We all have our own priorities.[/quote]

But that is not it.  Lots of people on this thread saying people who value being in a diverse environment are “woke” or crazy. It’s not just that some people don’t care, they actively denigrate those who may consider diversity at all. [/quote]

No, I am denigrating people who can’t write a post about diversity without being righteous.  Just because one values diversity one is not better than wide swaths of the country that are less diverse.[/quote]

+2 It is the righteousness for sure. It is also all over the threads about how “my kid will never go to school in a southern state.” It is exactly why the Democratic Party is losing the people who actually agree with their policies. The self-righteousness is off putting and they are so sure they are right and everyone else is wrong, it makes them offensive. You are why Trump is in power. Signed- an extremely liberal Democrat that can’t deal with the DEI extremism[/quote]
