I was on a group call tonight — maybe 20 people — and one of the participants said (quite seriously) that the event she recently sponsored was “very diverse” because all the speakers were women. Most of the attendees obediently nodded their heads as if this was good and profound. <\/p>\n
It takes 0.01 seconds for anyone with an operational brain to realize that “diversity” has come to mean something entirely unrelated to the English word diversity. <\/p>\n
Real “diversity” would mean that the speakers were different on several levels of analysis. Age, race, sex, national origin, …. It would be easy to come up with 20 categories, and it would not be hard to come up with 100. <\/p>\n
But the word has come to mean something entirely different. Now it means something like “anybody but white males.” <\/p>\n
If you had all black speakers, that would be “diverse.” If you had all lesbian speakers, that would be “diverse.” <\/p>\n
But if you had all white male speakers — who were different in 20 other categories — that would not be “diverse.” <\/p>\n
