Steve Jobs was an Arab-American.
Elon Musk is an African American

One of America's ideals is that it is a "melting pot" with the intention of building a stronger citizenry.

Anti-MAGA's, particularly the Left, use diversity as a tool to fracture us.

and‬‭ diversity‬‭ in‬‭ faith‬‭ and‬‭ creed‬‭ that‬‭ have‬‭ added‬‭ strength‬‭ to‬‭ our‬‭ communities‬ ‭ and nation

Arabs are the antithesis of diversity in faith and creed; to whit, the verses in their Koran that directs Muslims to kill infidels.
