Diversity - what is it?

In Marketing and Business:

1. The millennial's version of synergy
2. A buzzword used for virtue signalling
3. (In hiring) A deceptive practice designed to homogenize the ideals and thoughts of employees
4. When employees and co-workers eat lunch exclusively with members of the same race.

"To serve our users well, we need a diverse workforce thatโ€™s representative of the users we serve. That's why we lie on our marketing material to make it look like we are 90% African American and women." - Google

"We know intuitively that diversity matters." - McKinsey & Company

" YouTube illegally used quotas as recently as last year in an attempt to hire more black, Latinx, and female engineers." -Wired Magazine

"Welcome to the tour! My coworkers are super diverse! Over here in the lunch area, all the Asians eat together. And over there, all the Latinos. And over there, all the non-binary trans-racial zir's."

What does "diversity" mean?

(Cultural) Originally, diversity of ideas and viewpoints were recognized as important to many different endeavors such as learning and decision-making - the idea being that the over time the best ideas and/or viewpoints would win out in fair competition. Unfortunately, once this concept was generally embraced as a good thing, it was subsequently perverted and has become a euphemism for quota preferences given to politically favored minority groups in such areas as hiring, promotion, granting of federal contracts and admission into educational systems.

Genuine diversity would imply that someone from Greenland or New Zealand would be a welcome addition to increase the diversity of a university culture. Instead, administrators believe their university somehow becomes more diverse by adding one more black from down the road, increasing black % enrollment from 7.23% to 7.24%. Odd how administrators never seem to notice that blacks don't really contribute to diversity anyway since blacks usually restrict their company to that of other blacks in the student union, classroom, fraternity, university clubs, etc.

Diversity - slang

The 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, โ€œI want to move to a neighborhood where there is more diversityโ€ or โ€œI donโ€™t like living in the suburbs. Itโ€™s 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 โ€œdiversityโ€ is an ego trip for said white person because their conscious or unconscious motivation is โ€œLook at me! Iโ€™m 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 โ€œdiverseโ€ people are forced out because they can no longer afford living there. If white people were to put their money where their mouths were theyโ€™d be moving into the Bronx in droves. But theyโ€™re not. They might be able to embrace racial differences โ€“ just not economic ones.

โ€œI have to move to Brooklyn! They have cool coffee shops and the area is so full of diversity!โ€

Translation: "I have to move to Brooklyn. Itโ€™s full of gays and little brown people! Iโ€™ll look so cool!

Diversity

A 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. Gradually turning our backs on everything that makes us unique as a nation. Turning our backs on everything our forefathers fought and died to obtain, secure, and protect.

The idea that we need to be as poor as all of the other third world countries in order to fit in as a nation.

America really needs to be more culturally diversity. We really need to embrace a little more cannibalism, and definitely a salve labor society like the one they have in China. I hear that there is female genital mutilation in the Middle East. Oh goody... we need some of that here too!

Diversity

An old, old wooden ship that was used during the civil war era to deliver large supplies of purรฉed walnuts from the South to the North. The walnuts were used as a replacement for toilet paper, due to the wartime shortage. Despite the volitile relationship between the two countries at the time, the North figured that it was more important to have a clean ass than to place an embargo on the South's nut shipments. The South figured,"Hell, we need the money".

There have been complaints from the authorities about a lack of diversity in the News Room.
