Your justification(s) of "diversity" are nonsense, and patronizing racist nonsense, at that.

What -- you're saying that people from different racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds don't look at the world differently?

That's hopelessly out of step with what your own experience should have told you.

Your loud protestations and silly accusations are proof enough to me that you know you're wrong.

>>That's hopelessly out of step with what your own experience should have told you<<

Now, this is the second time you have posted an argument about what my experience should have taught me.

This is an unanswerable argument-I can only discuss what my experience has actually taught me. I cannot accept that I should argue from the premise of your opinion about what my opinion should be.

My extensive experience has taught me to reject your premise that persons from minority backgrounds are different from me, so different that by virtue of their background, without reference to their actual human selves that they will provide me with experiences, insights, and "points of view" not otherwise obtainable.

This is racist garbage, and that's all it is. I am an educated man, and nothing human is alien to me. It is much more stimulating to interact with others, be they black, red, brown, yellow, or white, who have something to say rather than to pat myself on the back about how broad my social interactions are because I hang out with dark-skinned people.

Do you realize how inferior you must actually take black folks to be-that your projections have taken the place of their actuality?

For you, they are all Invisible Men, whose reality is submerged in your psychological projective system.
