[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question would be not why is diversity good, but why do some people think it's bad? Do you feel threatened because people look or believe differently from you? If so, why?[/quote]

I feel that by forcing me to accept other groups, they are taking away my culture.  Diversity has to be good not just for small groups, but for the large group too. I'm a European.  I love to travel, visit other countries, see other cultures.  I like to visit different groups and regions in the US with different cultures.  But I feel like, when people say "diversity/muliticulturalism" that they are using this as a dog whistle to groups that really want me to give up my culture and take theirs.[/quote]

So aren't you forcing other people to accept your group? What do you propose, a roll back of the civil rights laws and a return to segregation? Send all those brilliant doctors and scientists back to India and China? [/quote]

See, it is over the top answers like that that upset me.  You just accused me of wanting to roll back civil rights.  It is the kind of person you are that makes me feel like I just want to stay away from diversity types.  What on earth made you make such an extreme, rude, agressive response?[/quote]

I am 9:01 and I don't think my response was over the top - yet you didn't answer.  [/quote]

The thought of rolling back civil rights horrifies me.  I thought that was implicit in my answer.  I guess you need it stated directly.  You, without anything in my post to provoke it, have turned me into as ugly a stereotype of a european as many of the stereotypes of non-european groups.[/quote]
