Diversity, as it is understood today, is a cancer. In its current form it is divisive and destructive.
In centuries past diversity was accepted because those of diverse backgrounds and cultures wanted to be a part of the whole. It was their dream to “be American”, with all that was involved for them to become one.
Not so today.
Today diversity is wanting just the opposite. It’s about being disruptive, being a malcontent, wearing the cloak of victimhood, and wanting to stand apart from the whole because of that victim mentality and championing that victimhood.
The sooner we stop celebrating diversity for diversity’s sake, as a goal unto itself, as if it were something more tangible than just a trait of some individual, and return to celebrating diversity simply as a characteristic of those who want to strengthen the whole, the better off we’ll be.
