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.

Perversion Diversion

This is when you see a hot girl and you want your friend to check her out too, but if you both look at the same time or if he looks too quickly then it becomes obvious and you get busted.

So you create a diversion, to allow your friend to have a perve without getting caught.

This can be in the form of allowing ample time between looks or simply creating a scene so her attention is diverted.

Guy 1: Dude you have to check out this chick in the red, dont look yet I'll create a perversion diversion for you-

Guy 2: Sweet!

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."

Diversifucked

1. Having diversity shoved down your throat so many times you get pissed off when you hear another language.

2. Getting a diversity lecture from four white people.

3. Throwing diversity into definitions that have nothing to do with diversity.

Dude, Purdue Engineering has totally diversifucked me.

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.
