The city I live in is about 92% white, but the predominant cultures are Irish, Italian, German, Polish, Welsh, Russian, Ukrainian, etc. All very different and makes for a much more diverse population that some inner cities where you barely see anyone that isn't black. Yet the almost entirely black inner city neighborhoods are considered "diverse."
Yet we never hear about bring Swedes and Irish into the inner city to increase the diversity! Why is that?

Actually, Swedes and the Irish do consider themselves diverse. I do too. In fact, I hung out with a few Romanians, a Greek, an Irish and a Briton on Sunday. Would you consider that a diverse group?
May be, you should also define "diversity" while at it, and diversity from what it is that prompted you to create this thread.
I doubt several people here do. If we were half as "evolved" as a species as we often claim we would have zero problem with the minor differences between all of us. We are diverse species, yet some seem to think that is somehow a bad thing or that some are somehow superior to others. there seem to be plenty of room for more growth for mankind, that is if he does not kill himself off first.

I would like to know what the OP means by diversity too. My extended family is very diverse even though most of us are black. Some of us are Christian, some are Muslim, some of us are white collar, others are blue collar, some are republicans, some are democrats the list goes on.

Since most mixed-race kids are identified with the lower caste, the higher caste (Whites) has its population levels reduced and that reduces the very diversity we are supposed to cherish. I think blue-eyed and/or redhead people will eventually become extinct, they are in decline, and I hope the divericrats are happy they helped destroy diversity.

On a side note, I am always fascinated by the diversity of White people, they are the only ones that can have blonde, red, or brown hair, and blue, brown or green eyes. They truly are the world's most diverse people.
I thought you were "trying" to sound smart. That's the problem with people like you, you can't see anything beyond yourself. Everything is some vague mass of "other." Since asian/white mixes usually identify with their white side more than the asian, the lower case must be white according to your (pseudo) logic.
Having diversity of "colors" does not equal "most diverse people" as you are insinuating. the colors are physical. when i'm in a room full of whites with brown, blonde, blue, hazel, red etc "diversity" is not what i sense, i sense they are alike more than anything. the "vibes" especially are the same. how many whites are blonde/blue eyed or brown/hazel etc ad infinitum and repeat. it's too trivial to make any difference as who you like or find unique has more to do with the person, not the color of thier eyes or hair. it's an aside or peripheral aspect.
diversity is deeper than just superficial colors like easter eggs. not that isn't amusing or novel in it's own way but it wears off after awhile. again, because it's superficial and it repeats. so even if there are different colors, there are many who look just like that.
there is diversity all over the world on every continent, every culture, every people's, in it's own way with many different textures. just because you can't notice it, doesn't mean it isn't there since you have a rather clinical, one-dimensional and dry mentality. lol

you are not reading very carefully before posting. I am sure swedes and irish consider themselves diverse, but do those who promote diversity? I cannot define that which I do not necessarily prescribe to. I posted what prompted me to start this thread.
