Modern dogma holds that diversity is one of the greatest qualities a society can enjoy, that it bestows many advantages.  But what does this imply?  Well, by definition "diversity" refers to differences among groups.  Now, not only is it illogical to assume that every one of these differences will be flattering, the supposition that diversity is beneficial implies otherwise.  After all, if diversity is beneficial, it is only because certain groups bring qualities or strengths to the table that others do not.  And, if a given group possesses a certain unique strength, then other groups are wanting in that area relative to it.

Any which way you care to slice it, this is a corollary of diversity dogma.

I don't see how you get around that argument.

Yup, who says all ‘differences’ are good ones?

Blacks are more likely to kill other blacks?

According to PC people, all whites are racist, and apparently can’t jump.

I mean, for every groups’ unflattering stereotypes, there goes some comediens’ new stand-up routine.

The real source of all the strife and division, and the solution. Words of wisdom from Mitt Jeffords.

There will be no peace or rest in this fallen world until the ruler of this world is taken out of the way; the ruler of Darkness who has instructed all of his forces to continually supply the inhabitants of this world with innumerable reasons for one to judge, to accuse, to find fault with, and to condemn others. The Lord has now opened my eyes to see that the final battle, it will be the forces of Darkness with all of its reasons to judge, to hate, and to kill pitted against the armies of the Light that will be accompanied with the mercies, and grace, and forgiveness of God: Judgment against the love of God. Then, in the fullness of time, those who have come into agreement with Father’s love shall arise as the Sons of God when Jesus Christ comes to glorify them with his power, and his wisdom, and his love, and his strength, and his goodness, and his blessings, and his honor, and his name. These are they who will then come forth to perform all of the purposes that Father’s heart beats to: to love and to be loved. Then shall the kingdom of God come, and the will of God will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Then shall mercy triumph over judgment; life over death; and the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God. I then realized that this spiritual Valley of Megiddo, wherever it may be, is the valley where it all ends as well as the valley where it will all begin. Glory be to God.

Diversity sucks. We all know that. It’s a false concept brought to give the powers that be more control. Control is everything.

One of the best books I’ve read on stereotyping, without the liberal agenda, is “Who Am I?” by Emanon. The author writes a series of satirical essays and the reader has to figure out whether the writer is a man or woman, religious denomination, political affiliation, sexual orientation, etc etc. Very funny and a great read...especially about poltics and Iraq.

Not sure if this is applicable to this thread:

If an American of African decent uses the "N" word he makes money. AKA Rap Music

If an American of European decent uses the "N" word he has money taken. AKA Imus

Race today is not about right or wrong, or even racism. AKA Greed

Yeah the Socialists love multiculturalism, and then try to persecute anyone who tries to point out any cultural differences. Nomatter how minor the differences are.

This is double-think, and its covered in Orwell’s book 1984.

You are right about greed; but everything is about control.

Modern dogma holds that diversity is one of the greatest qualities a society can enjoy.....

It is also the belief, that having a thousand "diverse" opinions is better than having only one well thought out opinion.

RAYCPA’s maxim:

Stereotypes are very useful until more specific information can be gathered.

“Diversity sucks. We all know that. It’s a false concept brought to give the powers that be more control. Control is everything.”

You are 100% right and all the lofty philosophical arguments and word parsing debates will never change it!

think about all the times that whites are characterized as nerdy, lacking rhythm or liking mayonnaise

I inevitably laugh at these characterizations. I must be a racist.
