I think diversity is good in healthy amounts.

But Dems are on steroids with it.

Sane people would try to thread the needle between a qualified person and diversity. Democrats are just hungry to tick off the diversity box

The other side of the coin. What’s your problem with it? We should all be treated and respected equally !

My problem is you shouldn't have your whole brain fall out of your skull just for the sake of diversity

No, sane people are completely obsessed with a pure meritocracy under full unfettered capitalism.

You're espousing Marxism and don't even know it.

They are not actually interested in "diversity".

In fact, in ideological terms, they demand rigid and undissenting conformity. No diversity allowed.

As far as their current interest in "Identity politics," that is solely about their interest in power politics. Divide and conquer. It is not about diversity, but rather fomenting conflict and the strife and misguided and easily manipulated, emotion driven responses that this invokes.

Majority of liberals are white hardly much different than the the alt-rights. Most minorities actually don't agree with progressive policies. A lot of Hispanics and Blacks are more conservative in value than progressive. Majority of them are against gays.

There's no problem with diversity, but Dems are too overboard with assuming EVERYTHING is racist. If 2 white people are arguing about what type of pizza's best, they're just having an argument. But if a white person and a black person were arguing about what type of pizza is the best, it must be that the white person is attacking a black person and is therefore being a racist.

The other problem is that everything is misogyny. Criticize a woman, it must be misogyny. Like at the VP debate. The most awful, wokeist people thought the VP was a misogynist and dominating the debate. That awful wokeist Mark Ruffalo and his posse of abhorrent actors/singers said it.

What Democrats don't realize is that assuming everything is misogyny is actually weakening the woman; it's suggesting that she needs to be coddled and sweetly spoken to; it's suggesting that she cannot handle herself when debating a man.

That people somehow need diversity training or a diversity officer in a company is insulting to modern Americans. We all KNOW this. We don't need stupid training. We know how to treat each other just by living every day and being around other people. Democrats love this, but it's going overboard.

And Yelp said you can give a bad review to a restaurant for being racist. How do you know it's race? Just because the customers who got bad customer service is a minority?

Are you saying I'm liberal for thinking diversity can be ok in small doses?

I can understand not being for diversity period

The same root for "diversity" is also for "division."

When you understand that power is their only goal, everything they do makes sense.

I'm not for or against diversity.

I'm for capitalism. It solves everything whether you like it or not. Whether you personally win or not.

If you're espousing forced anything...that's bad. It's the basis of socialism.
