You're right that the pressure to actively promote diversity will fade as diversity increases, however I don't really see this as something we'll look back on and say "what were we thinking?"
- CWuestefeld 16y agoThe kind of diversity being fostered today (at least in education) is really nothing more than racism. The diversity system today consists of giving preference to those with dark skin, while handicapping asians. But how much diversity are we really getting, when the only criteria is race? If we were really interested in getting a diverse mixture, we'd be seeking all kinds of dimensions: * city people / country people; * protestant / catholic / jewish / muslim / buddhist / hindu / agnostic / atheist; * rich / poor; * lovers of the visual arts / bookworms * introverts / extroverts * organized / chaotic * vegans / carnivores And so on. As far as I can determine, the race-based diversity really aids nothing, but does serve to preserve enmity between the protected and handicapped races. If we want diversity, we need to look deeper than the skin.
