Equality is neither inherently caused or obstructed by diversity.
- jlynn 12y agoI think it is important to point out that equality has a huge impact on diversity.
- malandrew 12y agoMost certainly, however you can't say whether that that impact produces a more equal or more unequal ratio. Citing a racial example, the greater equality (read: more meritocratic) of admissions practiced by CalTech results in a disproportionately Asian composition (~40% Asian whereas Asians are just 4.4% of the population and only like 2% of the students are African American, which African Americans are make up like 17% of the US population.
