Intermarriage

When we say diversity, we mean diversity in all senses of the word, not just one aspect of it.

Segregation does not bring about diversity. There may exist diversity between two segregated groups, but as these groups never mix, what good does this do? Within the group, it matters little. Interracial marriage is completely unrelated to diversity. You're kidding yourself to think it actually benefits this world somehow to hold onto one flag and spit on others.

Adam, please calm down.

Spit on others? WE ARE NOT RACIST. WE DO NOT THINK OF OURSELVES AS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. Or would you like for me to run that by you again?

Like I said if youre lard covered brain was paying attention, "diversity" exists throughout history, and the natural interacting of peoples takes place. What is your point here?

Diversity as promoted in the United States is anything but what you describe. They describe racial and cultural diveristy, not diversity of ideas. Somehow everyone is taught to think within the rigid confines of 'accidental history' and how the State is so essential. Any diverse opinions on 911 being a product of Bush and Co., is met with insecurities and epithets. Not very diverse for some country to claim to be for diversity.

The U.S. is laying its own roots for its own demise.

Originally posted by Anonymouse Well, way to go in attributing something to me I did not say. Diversity is diversity, let's not make this elastic.

This is no different than morons saying morality is subjective.

Exactly. Diversity is diversity. It has nothing to do with the way a person looks or the nation they call home. It lies within the differences between individuals, which is not fostered by keeping small, separated groups. It is fostered by allowing people to mix feely with whoever they should choose, to meet people that are not like them, and to learn about these people, to exchange ideas, interests, DNA base sequences, and everything that goes with it.

But currently "diversity" is forced.

The whole civil rights movement was one big forced integration, yet while some may mix, for the most part people still stay within their own respective communities.

What the xxxx does this have to do with interracial marriages? Who said I was promoting anything about the US? I will tell this for damn sure: there is far more diversity of thought here in this country than there is in any other. Take it from someone who has lived on both coasts and in the Appalachian south, and travelled everywhere inbetween.

Diversity implies heterogeneity. What you just said makes no sense to me. Yea, if I focus on one family, there won't be much diversity there (duh). I look at diversity of the world, so I don't see what you're saying. Diversity breeds culture and creativity. If everyone was similar, I'd get bored (as would most people). I'm all for diversity (not in the US sense of the word, though).

And? Who said I wanted to force people to intermarry? You're ignoring me again, and arguing with US policy. I do not support US policy.

Then why keep small, insular groups? Why have an ethnic identity at all? Do you honestly not see how it is the source of so much needless strife and conflict. I am never going to bomb a school because it is full of Jewish children, nor will I ever force a tribe of natives to march 1000 miles to certain death because they aren't white enough.

Adam, are you even comprehending what I'm writing? Can you stop with the assumptions, please?

EMBRACING DIVERSITY DOES NOT MAKE ONE RACIST. THOSE CRIMES THAT YOU SPEAK OF ARE ONLY DONE IN THE NAME OF RACISM.
