It seems like for the last few years that has been the buzz word.

IMO, it's whites saying: be more like us!

I always thought Mainstream was code for: Join white society and be more like Whites and ignore your own culture.

Your thoughts.....

To me being more "mainstream" is ignoring the government is selling off our sovereignty piece by piece, and our freedoms in the name of security, health and safety, or whatever else the liberals can come up with (by liberals I mean all of the Democrats and 3/4 of the Republicans).

If you think all Democrats and 3/4 of Republicans are liberal, you're outside the mainstream, that's for sure!

It's like the opposite of 'diversity'

Diversity is code for: forget everything about white culture and be more like us.

I am outside the mainstream. I'm a Ron Paul supporter, a true conservative.

That is not what diversity means and you know it.

Diversity is SUPPOSED to mean inclusion. But I think it's somewhat of a joke in America. It's nice window dressing.

Mainstream can either be in the channel of a slow-flowing river or a river channel headed over a waterfall.

I always thought that "mainstream" meant "run of the mill" no matter where you were from, or what color...political..

I'm not going to hijack the thread here. But, that is basically what diversity means. Give me this because I'm not white/male/hetereosexual or whatever group you want to say.

It might have started out as inclusion but it no longer means that.
