While attending a poor school and growing up in a poor environment gives you a completely different life perspective than growing up in a rich one, it's worth noting that this isn't what people mean when they talk about "diversity".
- TameAntelope 6y agoIt's what I mean. It's not only what I mean, but that diversity of viewpoint is incredibly valuable when trying to solve problems as a group.

USA is still stuck pretending it doesn’t exist. Similar to how 50 years ago it was pretendint sexism isn’t a problem. Imo it’s important to talk about all types of systemic issues, not just the popular ones. And to quote one of my well meaning friends: ”Oh pfft your issues don’t count because you can pass (look white and male)”
