People (except DWL's) have a general preference for their own people. That's why blacks overwhelmingly hook up with other blacks, honkies overhwlemingly hook up with other honkies etc. Don't see any reason why it needs to be forced - there is no benefit to be had from doing so.
Every wonder why Cap'n Picard fought so hard against assimilation by the borg? Because a loss of diversity and individuality is a terrible price to pay.
It's funny how your definition of diversity seems to be different homogenous groups living on their own separate island.
I had to look up the word to verify whether I was making a mistake in meaning.
Here's what I found;
:
the condition of having or being composed of differing elements : variety; especially : the inclusion of different types of people (as people of different races or cultures) in a group or organization <programs intended to promote diversity in schools>
2
:
an instance of being composed of differing elements or qualities : an instance of being diverse <a diversity of opinion>
Synonyms:
