Despite similar rates of drug use, black people are nearly four times as likely to be arrested for marijuana use This can be pretty obviously understood as the result of compound charges, of which the drug charge is a minor component. Bear with me, facts incoming... Black people, particularly young black males commit crimes at a much higher rate than other groups. In committing these other crimes and then being arrested, a certain percentage of them happen to have a bag of weed in their pocket, which then gets tacked on as an accessory charge. Before anyone wants to argue about the objective and carefully tabulated crime rates. No, whites don't just get away with more of the petty, street, and violent crime we are discussing, race ratios of victim reports match those of arrests. women tend to make significantly less money for doing the same work, in the same positions, at the same company, because of (largely) subconscious biases. No, because of intentionally faulty statistics to calculate such things.

"Diversity" in the sense it is used in social policy(for some reason only in the west, no one is harping on Japan, or Saudi Arabia, or Angola about diversity) is harmful and destructive to otherwise healthy societies. We show that ethnic diversity or fractionalization and values diversity are distinct and while the former has a negative effect on innovation, the latter contributes positively. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13504851.2015.1130785 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13504851.2015.11... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_D._Putnam#Diversity_and_trust_within_communities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_D._Putnam#Diversity_and...

It is absurd to say we should take all viewpoints seriously. How are you defining 'viewpoint', and 'seriously'? What does it mean to take seriously the viewpoints common in Islam that -- gay people should be persecuted, to the point of being thrown off buildings, stoned to death, or beheaded? family members should kill other family members in the name of 'honor'? murdering non-believers is acceptable? How seriously do you take these viewpoints? Were NASA hindered in their mission to get to the moon in the 1960s because it was a bunch of white guys with viewpoints grounded in careful observation, excelling at math and science and a kind of boundary pushing audaciousness that seems quite particular to men of European descent?
