Stupid statement. You can be strong or not strong with or without diversity. But saying we are strong BECAUSE of diversity is like saying “This apple is an apple because of the orange tree next to it.”

It’s such BS, it’s like saying that a person who likes to play golf should seek out as friends people who like to bowl. That the less you have in common the stronger the friendship will be. You CAN be friends with people that enjoy hobbies diverse from yours of course, but that diversity is not the reason for the “strength” of your relationship.

“Diversity is our strength” Ugh. On it’s base level what it’s saying is “We like to dwell on the differences in people and then praise ourselves for overcoming the personal pride that one takes in who they are and applying it outwardly to others precisely because they are different in some way than us, while/in order to present(ing) to the world that we are oh-so humble. Kumbaya.
