Diversity Contest - or From Yesterday's Dreaded Quotas to Today's Celebrated Newspeak

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

We all noticed the extraordinary surge in the use of 'diverse' and 'diversity' in public speech.

Popular as they are, these are not words used by people during their 'normal' conversations with friends and family. Following a trend observed in communist societies, we are witnessing a phenomenon the communist dissidents were calling 'the wooden tongue' - a language using 'special' words and concepts to express ideas that no one would care to express under normal circumstances but which would be essential concepts and 'burning issues' whenever one would speak in an artificial and controlled 'public' setting meant to educate (read brainwash) the masses.

Since idiotic words or concepts such as 'diversity' are here to stay and are coming out of the wooden mouths of public people of all officially mainstream political creeds at a machine-gun rate, I thought that it would be good if we could incorporate 'diverstiy' in our day-to-day speech so that the wooden tongue wouldn't sound so dead when spoken by reporters, politicians or 'human resource' idiots and/or monkeys.

Here's my challenge: incorporate 'diverse' and/or 'diversity' in normal phrases as many times as possible. For example:

"I owe money to diverse lenders."

"I enjoy the diverse colors of leaves during the Fall season."

"I used to date diverse girls while in high school.

"It's the diversity of veggies in the salad that makes it so delicious."

"use the word 'diverse' during normal conversations."

Things maybe different in DiverseA-Fornia.

Where I work in California most kids are successfully programmed in newspeak and I admit before two years ago when I started my current job I only heard this politically correct garbage in Canada. I would say that almost all under 32 year-olds here at my company have been totally indoctrinated by the university pony-tailed Marxists.

If you are hearing this "diverse-crap" from the media you are hearing it from a group like my "diverse work group" that all have been programmed to use the code words but they use them and believe them.

A young Venezuelan manager I worked with believed, that if a meeting was conducted and there were only white-males there a good decision couldn’t be made and he wanted a more diverse group.(At first I didn’t catch on.) I didn’t understand that he meant what he said and if our black female couldn’t make the meeting then cancel.

I'm trying to think of as many diverse ways to use the word niggardly as possible to increase the diversity of my vocabulary ;-)

Inclusive usually means "gay-friendly" and I haven’t heard it to mean "people of color" friendly.

So a an "inclusive group" would be one that is openly shows its acceptance to lesbian, gay and transgendered individuals.

Another code word is "judgmental" which means not mentioning evil or deviate behavior or basically never putting someone down unless they are a conservative.
