Current Events > Does "diversity" mean "non-white"?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What do you think?
---

Yes and that's not good.
---

Diversity means all, and including. If not, it's done wrong.
---

it means 1 white person there as a token
---

Nope and this white nationalist talking point needs to die
---

It only appears that way cause of a concerted effort to exclude non-whites from everything for a couple of centuries. Diversity seems like oppression when you're no longer discriminating against everyone else.
---

Nah. It means mix-up and confirming.

No, it just means "less white people"

which is just as stupid
---

Of course not.

But it's fair to inquire about relative populations. For example, black is by far the most represented minority in US pop culture despite not even being the largest US minority.

Though I don't really care enough to actually do the research, it's fair to ask if white people are similarly underrepresented relative to their actual portion of the population.

I wouldn't imagine so but like I said I don't actually care enough to look that kind of stuff up.

"black panther's diverse cast"
---

problem is liberals like to change what words mean. In this instance, they've taken ethnically diverse and called it cultural diversity.
---

Depends on what nation it's talking about and what the majority representation there initially is.
---

yes
---

No, it means "non-white and/or female"
---

nothing wrong with wanting to work in a diverse atmosphere

Not really.

Say you have a room of 10 white people.

And only ten people can fit in that room.

And you need to add diversity into that room.

By nature, that would mean less white people.

That is rather silly. If you want celebrate a majority black cast, then say so. Don't call it diversity. That makes it sound like "diversity" means "black people" which it doesn't.
---

No and anyone who thinks it means that is a dipshit

Then again, it is possible to have diversity with a room of just black people, if they all came from different cultures.

These days, yes.

yes, that's what white people are saying ITT glad you paid attention
---

The real definition? No, but sometimes it is misused to mean such a thing.
---

depends on the individual using the term. and it's best to let them finish their point before you get triggered and interject. you'll probably get all of the context and nuance you need.

but if you're an insecure, fragile snowflake... you're probably gonna find a way to feel persecuted.

in some cases it can mean the person is just assuming shit about the white people due to ignorance, and that is discrimination. not all white people are the same

ftfy. but I don't think anybody is arguing the latter part of your statement.
---

Diversity simply means a mixture of people of different skin colours, races, ethnicities, racial orogins, ages, genders, sexual orientations, etc.

In order to be properly diverse the mixture of people should be proprtional to what is found across the country/city/community etc.

no, but a lot of people here are also assuming that everyone that wants diversity assumes all white people are the same. assumption of prejudice (thanks for the correction)
---

no, but some people think it does
---

depends.

diversity according to sjws/baizuos mean bare minimum tolerance. you only need to tolerate what you must not what you should.
---

It means "non majority"
---

I do prefer there to be at least one non-white person around though. It weirds me out if everyone is white tbh.

race is a goofy little costruct we little humeys made. it holds us back.

no. allocate credit only where it's due.

one group in power decided that your ethnicity was your race, and had the guns to make others either comply or die. but it never made sense because that's not what race is. never was. it's just as stupid now as it was then.
