Diversity is in large part about the rich white class of Americans shifting blame for the 2008 financial crisis to all white Americans, thus diluting the blame significantly as it was spread over 40% of the population instead of 1%. This neutered any significant political change that might have resulted.
Also, the diversity they talk about still results in people all coming from New York, LA, Philadelphia, etc. It’s the urban rich along with a select few of the urban poor, and they all went to school together anyway, thus rendering moot any benefit diversity would have provided.
- CM30 8y agoThis is something I've suspected for a while myself. A lot of the more menial diversity complaints (like pronouns and what not) do seem rather meaningless compared to things like wealth inequality and what not, and feel like a definite distraction after stuff like Occupy shook the 1% a bit.
