[quote=Anonymous]Not everyone buys into the current obsession with "diversity" which has no relationship to the original meaning of the word--multiplicity and variety. "Diversity" is now a word describing schemes to manipulate people and numbers for racial and ethnic objectives.

The modern concept of "diversity" ASSUMES that people are, above all else, members of social groups and products of the historical experiences of those groups. In this sense, diversity is profoundly anti-individualist and at odds with America's older ideals of liberty and equality. Treating people as members of clans or tribes undercuts America's long effort to overcome racial division. ""Diversity" has propelled the Neo-racialists on the political Right as well as those on the multi-culturalist Left. But even if the diversity movement did not exacerbate racial and social division, it would be a questionable cultural ideal. Our liberty and our equality demand that we hold one another to common standards and that we reject all hierarchy based on heredity—even the hierarchy that comes about when we grant present privileges to make up for past privileges denied.[/quote]
