diversity

(Cultural) Originally, diversity of ideas and viewpoints were recognized as important to many different endeavors such as learning and decision-making - the idea being that the over time the best ideas and/or viewpoints would win out in fair competition. Unfortunately, once this concept was generally embraced as a good thing, it was subsequently perverted and has become a euphemism for quota preferences given to politically favored minority groups in such areas as hiring, promotion, granting of federal contracts and admission into educational systems.

Genuine diversity would imply that someone from Greenland or New Zealand would be a welcome addition to increase the diversity of a university culture. Instead, administrators believe their university somehow becomes more diverse by adding one more black from down the road, increasing black % enrollment from 7.23% to 7.24%. Odd how administrators never seem to notice that blacks don't really contribute to diversity anyway since blacks usually restrict their company to that of other blacks in the student union, classroom, fraternity, university clubs, etc.

Diversity Drone

Anyone who mindlessly adheres to the diversity creed.

Prone to Drone: Self-identified 'liberals'; moralistic vigilantes; anthropology majors.

Life cycle: Many people assimilate into drone-life after discovering that diversity is the solution to world conflict, becoming so obsessed with this ideal that their personality merges with the Hive-Mind. This causes them to engage in stereotyped and predictable behaviors such as: obtaining student leadership positions, becoming obstinately opposed to stereotypes, and becoming hateful towards the imagined Oppressor. Drones typically die off after obtaining jobs in the outside world.

How to recognize a drone: Drones can often be heard buzzing about "ethnic identity", "tolerance", and "multiculturalism", esp. when pressed about their comprehension of diversity. You won't find a depth of knowledge here, only the clever wielding of words to shame and demonize. Do not threaten further. Drones command the power of a guilty Nation.

"This modern dance performance is really pissing me off, it's ethnocentric and racist! What's with all of them having dark skin? It's not like ALL Ethiopian people have dark skin! I'm going to make a facebook group protesting the unjust portrayal of minority Ethiopian people in modern dance."

diversity

In Marketing and Business:

1. The millennial's version of synergy
2. A buzzword used for virtue signalling
3. (In hiring) A deceptive practice designed to homogenize the ideals and thoughts of employees
4. When employees and co-workers eat lunch exclusively with members of the same race.

"To serve our users well, we need a diverse workforce that’s representative of the users we serve. That's why we lie on our marketing material to make it look like we are 90% African American and women." - Google

"We know intuitively that diversity matters." - McKinsey & Company

" YouTube illegally used quotas as recently as last year in an attempt to hire more black, Latinx, and female engineers." -Wired Magazine

"Welcome to the tour! My coworkers are super diverse! Over here in the lunch area, all the Asians eat together. And over there, all the Latinos. And over there, all the non-binary trans-racial zir's."

Forced Diversity

The method SJWs used to relieve their white guilt. Sometimes it just means no male, as SJWs are just a bunch of delusional white girls with mental health and daddy issues.

The reason of Ghostbusters sucks is the result of both forced diversity and an actually bad story.

Diversity

An old, old wooden ship used in the civil war era.

Did you see the great battle between Diversity and the heterogeneous?

Diversity Ghetto

Window-dressing section of a college or corporate campus where most or all of an institution's diversity programs are placed. Often consists of a single floor, or single office, often in a remote or inaccessible part of the campus. Offices typically are understaffed, underfunded and expected to be experts on all issues black, brown and gay, and expected to deal with every life issue students of color, women and LGBT students face.

Person 1: Where is Dr. Liz Frazier's office?

Person 2: Who is that?

Person 1: She is head of Multicultural Affairs.

Person 2: Probably in the Diversity Ghetto. It's on the 3rd Floor of Smith Hall, on the other side of campus.

Person 1: Thanks. I have a question about racism.

Diversity Shield

When something is bad, but critiquing said thing isn't possible due to the diverse actions or portrayals that occur within.

A: I was bingeing shows on Netflix during Corona and I watched a really bad one called Another Life.
B: What's so bad about it?
A: Pretty much everything. To make sure it wasn't me I went to watch some reviews and noticed that any of them that didn't like the show will get people talking about how diverse the cast is or that there's a female lead.
B: But the shows still shit?
A: Oh yeah, but you can't say shit since the makers used their Diversity Shield to divert any genuine critical debate.
