My company (a multi-national) keeps sending out this crap about “diversity is good.” They never say WHY this is so, it is a stake in the ground.
In some specific markets, it is all about “diversity.” You have to understand the cultural norms. Don’t stare down Japanese. Emphasize family to Latinos. Don’t put Turkish and Armenians in the same room...
That all makes sense.
It isn’t the same as saying “Diversity Is Good.” It has no inherent benefits beyond perhaps interesting cultural anecdotes.
“Diversity” judges someone by what he/she is (color, ethnicity, nationality, etc.). It is the antithesis of the American standard of judging someone by what he/she DOES.
Diversity is good ONLY when liberal whites are in charge. Like what my Filipino bud tells me, that the most racist people he’s ever met were white liberal democraps.
They keep preaching multiculturalism is awesome yet they themselves have absolutely no non-white friends in their circle and live in white neighborhoods.
There are two ways to motivate individual self-restraint: by consent or by force. Under consent, freedom of action is maximized under conditions of mutually agreeable values. It is when there is disagreement that the need for force arises (literally, “di-versity” means having oppositely directed interests). No matter how constiuted to limited powers a government is, it has been universal that authorities gain power via enforcing settlments. The more conflict there is, effectively the more power there is to be had. Hence, the only alternative to police powers (and conversely, the only way to preserve liberty) is voluntary self-restraint. Yet today, every institution of public education (including mass media) teaches the lack of self-restraint as “freedom” and with particular regard to the most powerful drive in human experience: sexuality. Why? The more passionate the differences, then the more authorities we need to settle those conflicts by force, and the more power acquired by said would-be enforcers.
Good grief! Spread the word. I don’t want my retirement money invested in an idiot socialist corporation.
