Champ: What in the hell is diversity? Diversity - slangThe word "diversityโ is often a subtle, insidious and racist term used to mask a condescending, self-serving ego trip amongst white people. When a white person says, โI want to move to a neighborhood where there is more diversityโ or โI donโt like living in the suburbs. Itโs not diverse enough,โ one must examine the motivations behind those statements. When considering a place to live one must take numerous factors into account โ safety, school quality, home values or rental prices, availability of services, parking, commuting distances, noise levels, etc. If you find a place that meets the above criteria and that neighborhood happens to be diverse โ then so be it. NOT moving into that neighborhood because it contains people of differing races and creeds would be racist and intolerant. But making diversity the primary reason for moving into a neighborhood is a racist conceit. In this case the desire for โdiversityโ is an ego trip for said white person because their conscious or unconscious motivation is โLook at me! Iโm so evolved and cool I can live with people of different races and cultures.โ This attitude causes the gentrification of ethnic neighborhoods where poorer โdiverseโ people are forced out because they can no longer afford living there. If white people were to put their money where their mouths were theyโd be moving into the Bronx in droves. But theyโre not. They might be able to embrace racial differences โ just not economic ones. โI have to move to Brooklyn! They have cool coffee shops and the area is so full of diversity!โ DiversityA psychosis based on the false impression that we will be a better nation, company, or organization if we accept outside influence or opinions which are culturally or morally different than our own.
