If the proper application of the word was applied according to it's origin diversity does not mean we celebrate differences. The usage of the word itself has become twisted to fit ones agenda for Change!
Word Origin & History
diversity
mid-14c., "quality of being diverse," mostly in a neutral sense, from O.Fr. diversité (12c.) "difference, diversity, unique feature, oddness:" also "wickedness, perversity," from L. diversitatem "contrariety, contradiction, disagreement;" also, as a secondary sense, "difference, diversity" from
diversus "turned different ways," in L.L. "various," pp. of divertere (see divert). Negative meaning, "being contrary to what is agreeable or right; perversity, evil" existed in English from late 15c. but was obsolete from 17c. Diversity as a virtue in a nation is an idea from the rise of modern democracies in the 1790s, where it kept one faction from arrogating all power (but this was not quite the modern sense, as ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, etc. was not the matter in mind):
So you see it's more cultural rubbish that's been adopted by the unwitting mindless minions who have no concept of its true meaning. Time to wake up, shake the cultural dust off of our backs, stand up to the out of control PC crowd, GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH THOSE WHO WOULD ATTEMPT TO FORCE THEIR DIVERSE AGENDA ON US, and restore sanity in our land.
