That word - diversity - is like fingernails on a chalkboard every time I hear it.

I’m with you, it’s utterly useless, it’s PC to the max, and it’s untrue as an ideology.

Me too. Mainly because the word as used no longer means what the word is supposed to mean. And in most cases these days it implies a rejection of white heterosexual males and often white females as well. It is frequently used as a value judgment instead of indicating a variety of different forms, ideas, etc. Talk about micro aggression! The common PC use of the word is a real form of micro aggression. People are being judged, not by the content of their character but by their level of skin pigment, the God given shape of their genitals, and by their sexuality.

As for Diverse Barbie, I think the term is being used more accurately. It does sound very PC. But Mattel has been losing a lot of money and is gambling on Diverse Barbie to bring the money back. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Tolerance diversity and AGW will make me stop listening or reading

Anyone using those terms has lost whatever argument they are trying to defend.

I remember when tolerance was the keyword in the 80’s, then the effing libs bastardized the meaning- Libs meaning of tolerance my point of view trumps your point of view.
