I hateful and racist term drawn up by people of color which most often glorifies the absence of white people in a specific community or orgnization. It refers to the lack of white popluation as some sort of redeeming quality. Mostly it is used in the context of making a place "more diverse", literally meaning replacing or kicking out white people. Also often mentioned is "keeping a place diverse " which means keeping the white people out of an area or organization, or denying them leadership roles. The word diverse is a word glorifying the absence of white presence or white influence (especially white male influence) in a community, corporation, or organization.
I was the only white employee in an all black organization. They got rid of me in order to make the company more diverse.

A program created by the government to help "troubled teens" who find themselves in a position to getting a charge against them. to keep them "out of the court" the kids are accepted into a diversion program. Through the whole thing, the government, the teens and the parents waste a whole lot of time and whole of tax dollars, ameliorating absolutely nothing. When getting a ticket would have been a better option in the first place.
Teen #1: Dude, did you hear? That girl told us for denting mailboxes?
Teen #2: Oh, dont worry dude, we just got diversion.
Teen#1: OHHH NOOO!
Teen #3: Duuuude, im just gonna go to court, like a smart kid.

"The word “disabilities” is associated with the past and people’s negative experiences with institutions. I am looking to change the word to “diversabilities” because these institutions are now closed and I want to focus instead on the abilities of people now and in the future. People with diversabilities do not want to be a burden to society, but instead want to be contributors and participants in society." (Shelley Decoste)
