“Diversity’ that occurs in a pure meritocracy is neither good nor bad.”Diversity” that occurs in any other setting is *very* corrosive,demoralizing and undesirable.

that’s not surprising.
where i live most of the mcdonalds’s employees are mexicans
and many of them do not like gringos. some are rude.
i complained to one white manager about never getting the correct order,
and she said, “well i can tell you why you don’t get the correct order—
they don’t speak english!”

Sounds like giving manners lessons to someone who just stubbed his toe while trying to get to the bathroom in the dark after someone unplugged the night light.

“Diversity is our strength!”

UNITY!!! is our strength.

Strength comes from unity of purpose, not diversity of thought.
Anyone who has ever played team sports knows that.
To: george76

Some illegals think that this is aztec land.
They shoot up our 7-11’s and at the local cops too.

Diversity always happens when any number of peopel combine forces and effort. 10 people on balance will come up with more different ideas than 1 person. 10 people can do more than 1 person, usually.
But not always. 1 person can come up with more better ideas than 10 people. While 10 people can do more than 1 person, sometimes 1 person can accomplish much more than 10 people.
There are just too many variables. To say diversity is in itself a great strength oversimplifies things.

I went to a Burger King here in Northern Virginia today. The Hispanic cashier apparently had a hard time understanding English, and a white girl had to switch over to Spanish to place her order. The manager (who did understand English) kept coming over to correct the orders.
Some are nice, others are not.
But it is shocking to find a non-Hispanic/non-black employee of McDonald's, Burger King, etc. here in the DC metro area.
