Where "Diversity" is Taking Everyone

[Michael Cole]

Forget nitpicking the file format, look at the article.

Articles have links. You posted an image.

I don't know where you're trying to take this, but you totally lost the analogy.

It's your analogy. I was mocking it. That should have been obvious.

You complain about others' sex lives. That would make conservatives the giraffes.

Nosy ****s.

When the degree of racial and ethnic diversity here in the United States of America, absent any artificially-applied forces, reflects the populatiuon, we will know that we have overcome prejudice.

Unfortunately, there are systems in place which militate against this. Details upon request.

Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . informed.

Yes, justice is blind. This is why blacks can move into white neighborhoods. Justice. Because she's blind.

Not sure what point you were trying to make.

There are plenty of neighborhoods with people of different backgrounds living in them.
You're trying to hallucinate time-travel back to an older era.
But people don't like living in high crime neighborhoods, and if you try to connect that with racial intolerance, that's your folly.

Did you warn them? Quick, cc the OP to all those neighborhoods.

Wut? You're not making sense.

You said justice is blind. WTF does the above word salad have to do with lady justice?

I live in the most diverse zip code in Chicago. Pick a nation and they live here.
I’ve counted
6 community gardens,
1 Farmers Market
Ongoing volunteer beautification projects of parkways and beachfronts
One yearly Arts and music festival this weekend that is largely volunteer.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.

So what's your answer?

Segregate people?

Allow people to choose who they want to be around? Want to/are able to move into that neighborhood? Great. Move.

Likely the most self segregating folks out there now, aren't white folks.

People talk a good game, but when push comes to shove they choose the best thing for themselves and their loved ones.

Does anybody ever grab their phone in the mornings and before you check the board you wonder what the right is going to be crying about that day?

OP never has any idea what they're talking about.

It's just nonsense spewing.

That is precisely their answer.

Funny, if you actually read the entire article - you’d know it’s based off a singular study from 2001 - and then talks about the study, and to overcome the challenges faced by diversity impacting social capital.

The downside of diversity (Published 2007)

www.nytimes.com

In the final quarter of his paper, Putnam puts the diversity challenge in a broader context by describing how social identity can change over time. Experience shows that social divisions can eventually give way to "more encompassing identities" that create a "new, more capacious sense of 'we,'" he writes

In his paper, Putnam cites the work done by Page and others, and uses it to help frame his conclusion that increasing diversity in America is not only inevitable, but ultimately valuable and enriching. As for smoothing over the divisions that hinder civic engagement, Putnam argues that Americans can help that process along through targeted efforts. He suggests expanding support for English-language instruction and investing in community centers and other places that allow for "meaningful interaction across ethnic lines

Probably why the OP only included a photo and not the entire article. That or the OP simply wanted to post an image supporting their feelings and wasn’t really interested in finding out what the entire article (and underlying study) actually said.

Kick all the brown people out. Cops can carry around those swatches on a big keychain. If you’re darker than deerfeather, or morning cream, you’re out!

Not all. Just the ones unwilling/unable to work. Get the rest signed up to pay taxes!

No idea how you think that applies to me,

You Lefty Dems are now trying to shove it down everyone's throats. It's no longer a matter of tolerating diversity, it's a matter of absolutely having to run after diversity, in ever more diverse ways.
Before it was just racial diversity, now it's all kinds of sexuality. If someone identifies as being a giraffe, then everyone's supposed to accept their newly discovered 2-legged giraffe diversity.
It never ends. It's like a rat race.
This force-fed social brainwashing has to stop.

(Ass)(u)(me). Verb:

The notion that you intimately know someone you’ve never met.

I’m not a Dem.

I’m not shoving anything anywhere.

I am on record as being pro diversity, anti quotas and affirmative action.

I rather detest labels but if you have to on this I’m old school liberal in that I favor a color blind world where we’ve reached a point of enlightenment and realize that folks are folks. The skin color, orientations, gender, sex, etc. and so forth aren’t considered. It’s just merit, character and their practiced code of conduct that determines how we deal with folks.

Those poor white people, they can't handle equality...

I think they handle equality just fine. Are you saying that equity and equality mean the same?

The oddest and most interesting thing is you don’t know how that applies to you. I hope one day you see it.

Or you know, you could attempt to bridge the gap since the accusation came from you.

It’s better for my team if I just let you flail. Does that give you any insight into the political strategy of the Harris campaign?

“as often as possible, let your enemy defeat himself.”

If you are going to accuse me of something, just be a man and come on out and say it, OR

Conversely, shut the **** up.

Is it odd that the author of this article, Jonas, has a different take on Putnam's work than Putnam and the rest of the world do?

It seems odd.

Jonas, being a journalist, probably just corrected Putnam's work. Putnam is only a political scientist after all. Wtf does he know about his work?

Does anybody ever grab their phone in the mornings and before you check the board you wonder what the right is going to be crying about that day?

Eh. I can pretty much count on it being something anti-minority, anti-woman, or anti-LGBTQ.

Conservatives = if it's white (and straight and male) it's right.

Anything else, and it's a Code Red emergency and the beginning of the end of the America and quite possibly the entire planet.

My suburban community must be 50% Hispanic. A few blacks, but essentially white and Hispanic. Nobody has used the community garden down the street for years, but it's too hot to work on gardens anyway. Crime is no worse than other local suburban communities and is much better than downtown, which isn't as diverse.

There are certainly more posh suburban neighborhoods. They have better schools, but we have all the taco trucks. Yum.

The idea that immigrants and blacks are criminals is hateful insanity. There's a lot of white crime here. Most of it is white crime.

Lookie here.

I don’t know you but your comments indicate you are a xenophobic racist or play one on the internet. Either way does not make you look good in my book. How’s that for being a man?
