[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diversity brings exposure to different perspectives and backgrounds. This leads to greater empathy and understanding among students. [/quote]

I feel sorry for students in Japan, China and other countries with little racial diversity.    These students will never be able to learn empathy and understanding.[/quote]

Bad example.   I lived in Japan for a while and it was the most racist place I've ever been.[/quote]
Yea, that PP is comparing apples to oranges.  Japan and China are pretty homogeneous. The US is not. It's made up of lots of different races and ethnicities and religions, and the nonwhite population is growing.[/quote]

You may consider Japan and China as homogeneous countries but countries like these still have their own ways to divide, segregate,  and discriminate in ways the average American may not understand.   People can be judged by what village or Provence they come fromor the family they were born in. Their access to educational and work opportunities can be limited by factors out of their control.  The only difference is that in the US we use skin color to limit opportunities or keep a racial group oppressed. [/quote]
