[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A person can’t be diverse FYI. A team can be. A person cannot. [/quote]

I am a paranoid schizophrenic.[/quote]

I guess OP meant diverse background…[/quote]

OP here, yes that’s what I meant, I didn’t want to limit it…was hoping to get responses from
anyone who considered themselves as having a diverse background/situation. [/quote]

Why did you start this thread?  It's so silly.  We are all wonderful human beings and that's all that matters.  Only silly people worry about meaningless differences in background.[/quote]

Then you are lucky that you have not experienced being disadvantaged in life because of your background. And if you have, slow clap for you for weathering it  well.[/quote]

I think you are missing my point.  All this talk does not help anyone, least of all anyone who is experiencing challenges.[/quote]

And you are missing the point of the post. Who are you to say what is helpful or not? Sharing and comparing experiences is almost always helpful for those who are experiencing challenges.[/quote]

Depends how it's done.  It very frequently turns into a destructive orgy of self pity and scapegoating even with people who share experiences and goals.  Here on this forum it will also turn into an ideological argument because many will not trust that you are genuine - largely because most of the people spearheading these sort of debates in our body politic have ulterior motives themselves.

If you want to organize an actual group of people to get together and discuss successes and ideas then that might be a good idea, but be careful you have a leader who keeps the group focused positively.

Personally I have not seen any serious systemic issues or challenges worthy of discussion related to diversity in youth soccer in this area, and I doubt your sincerity myself.

Agree with PP, why are you in the SOCCER forum? I see a lot of cheap grammar here... Got any actual athletic skills or diversity that you can contribute to the thread?

I'm in the SOCCER forum to talk about SOCCER, unlike the OP who wants to talk about politics which is why they started this thread which has a lot to do with politics and really nothing to do with SOCCER at all.  [/quote]

Good grief…how are families’ experience with diversity or lack of in their children’s soccer experience not about soccer? This is a soccer forum in a parent site.

You and the number of trolling posts are why parents create these types of posts. You’re basically proving that if parents speak up, their concerns will be brushed away and not taken seriously because it’s just “political.”[/quote]

The racial makeup of a team is the posters concerns? [/quote]
