Diversity Week
1. 7 days out 365 in which black hip-hop crews are invited to preform. The effort is generally displayed as a culturally sensitive, yet cutting edge and hip foray into the wild world of marginally poor ethnic minorities. See hip-hop week.

"Ya know, Becky, for a Diversity Week, there sure was like, a definite lack of indian people, or like white people, or like, even Mexicans. I mean, come on! No Mexicans? They're totally diverse."
"Chyah! What did you think diverstity week means, a gathering of different cultures, races, and nations coming together to celebrate the humanity they all share? As if!"

Get the Diversity Weekmug. A variety of place and geographic identity within a relatively small area.
When a "neighborhood" is thought of to have a much smaller area and than is designated by most newspapers, other publications, travel websites, as well as philistines, that is geographic diversity.
While metropolitan areas are usually the antithesis of geographic diversity, such metropolitan areas as the San Fransisco Bay area, Hampton Roads VA, the Tampa Bay Area FLA, Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton PA/NJ, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/etcetera PA, the North Carolina Research triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Chapel Hill/Wake Forest), as well as any "tri-cities," "quad-cities or any other metropolitan area domminated by multiple cities are good examples of metropolitan areas which contain geographic diversity. Any smaller or average sized county which contains multiple towns with their own identities contains geographic diversity (on the other end, merged city/county governments such as Louisville KY are geograpically homogenous). Any state, provence or small country which is domminated by multiple cities, or at least may lack one single primate city (and the identityless sprawl surrounding it) are also geographically Diverse.
Geographic diversity means being able to go from one town or city to another and then another while travelling just a short distance.
In a large border city, one will often find geographic diversity on the other side of the said boudary.

Thanks to suburban sprawl, the accompanying horizontal expansion of metropolitan areas (as well as the increased identification within one), the consolidation of post offices, far-flung airports containing the name of a major city 2 miles away, and all the job growth moving to the boondocks right outside major cities, we're going to see less and less geographic diversity in the time yet to come.
People simply don't start towns anymore, just suburbs.
There are no suburbs, only sprawl, edge cities, and towns that have been imperialized.

Get the geographic diversitymug. 1. The annoying difference of others.
2. A person whose inherent personal characteristics, background or behavior is irritating or unpleasant.
3. The struggle to resist treating others less favorably because of their race, sex, sexual orientation, age or other inherent personal characteristic.

Sharing a lift full of Indian students after lunch on a hot Summers day is a fucking diversity challenge!
"Bossy? Doesn't listen? Sounds like your new boss Shoshana Steinberg is gonna be a diversity challenge!"
"She's on parental leave again. Unless you take on her work this organization won't meet its Diversity Challenge."

Get the diversity challengemug. The forced facade of racial, sexual, or physical representations without substance for the sake of virtue signaling with inconsequential or detrimental results.
Did you go see the remake of The Dark Knight? I heard they made Batman a black lesbian journalist and the Joker a transsexual socialist.
Fuck no! Those changes didn't make the comics any better. It's just some Disclaimer Diversity ruining a perfectly good story.

Get the non-diversemug. Diversity Numbes is a phrase used by the elite to describe the degree to which a business’s or organization's workforce is not straight, white and male.
In most contexts, a workforce is considered diverse if it comprises a large contingent of non-white, non-male and non-heterosexual workers, but this is by no means a general rule, as evidenced by the tendency of Asians to be counted as "white" in some contexts and "non-white" in other contexts.
Many organizations, Google for example, game their diversity numbers by hiring a large contingent of "LGBTQ" workers who are white, and thus avoid the need to hire black people.
The phrase came into popular usage through its frequent appearances in Gawker, where it was used to measure the diversity of Silicon Valley firms.

Sam Biddle: "Facebook's diversity numbers are in, and they're terrible"
John Taylor: "What's wrong with them"
Sam Biddle: "They're really, really white"
John Taylor: "But it says here that the're 30% Asian. Also, isn't Facebook run by Jews?"
Sam Biddle: "yeah, Asians don't count, and Jews are white"
