Because that would be cultural appropriation, obviously.

It doesn't though. I wouldn't call a whole group of just black people "diverse"

Because some places want to give opportunity to historically disenfranchised minority groups?

But liberal organizations pretty much do. They consider 77% black to be an example of diversity:

More likely they want PR with the SJW crowd. Nothing quite like encouraging diversity by hiring people who are totally unqualified for jobs, based upon their skin color or gender. I love dealing with people who can only half-speak English, and are supposed to be coordinating people on plant radios.

Used to be that diversity was a kid in a wheelchair. Now it just means no white males. Oh how our society has changed over time.

Which is fucked up because you can't give to a group, you give to individuals that compose a group.

WTF, the NBA is incredibly diverse. I has people from all over the world and people of every race, religion, and ethnicity. What a horrible example. It's second only to soccer in diversity.

It's also international and many different religions
So it's pretty diversity.


But what is diversity depends on what the majority is

Pure white wouldn't be diverse there, just like pure-black wouldn't be diverse here.

Diverse means diverse, what is confusing about this?

Calm down, buddy. I think TC is taking about diversity within a group, not genetic diversity of an individual.

Is there any legitimate argument, at this point, against the fact that white people are being discriminated against?

He is talking about when people say "what a diverse group of people" and generally that would mean "this group of people has people of many ethnic backgrounds" and thus it wouldn't apply to an all white group or all black group

Not in Zimbabwe or Africa where white minorities had their land and rights forcefully taken away without any compensation.

If a white guy joins a group consisting entirely of black people, he's adding diversity to that group.

in a country where the majority of institutions are run by and managed by white people, there's merit to the idea of attempting to include more people of different races to promote minority representation in places where it's needed

positive recognition of that helps to discourage discrimination towards the lesser represented
it also helps to make traits of minority culture more acceptable in mainstream society like traits of the majority

a large contributor to racist attitudes is a lack of exposure to people of different culture and race
changes for diversity can help moderate that issue and gradually condition people to "relax" around those different


although i will admit some pushes for diversity's sake can be taken too far and not all scenarios with a lack of minority rep are intentional, sometimes a place has trouble getting more than just white people because that's 98% of the local population...

i also don't agree with movements excusing anti-white sentiments under the guise of civil rights activism
it's just more racism
