Unity is when people of different backgrounds etc. come together to work towards a common future. There's natural give and take.
Diversity pretends its unity, but it's really all take, no give. |

Diversity is our weakness.
It can only be our strength if we behave and believe largely as one people, committed to true equality and a colorblind society based 100% on merit. Tribalism and factionalization are manufactured by government, paid activitsts and politicians who live and thrive on our division as a people. |

Wonder what kind of money those companies were making before they hired a bunch of diverse people?
Big corporations do it because they can tolerate some freeloaders. Diversity and Inclusion are like the Department of Misinformation, an attempt to force you to conform to what the self appointed elites think is proper. |

Quoted: We’ve had diversity and inclusion for 40 years. What the left is proposing is using racism and sexism to hire non white men. That’s racism and sexism, not diversity and inclusion. View Quote That’s equity. Diversity has always been the reality of life in the US. We’ve gotten better at inclusion, to the point that actual racism was pretty much over before Obama came into office. The concept of equity flipped everything, and required a belief that the civil rights struggle and popular culture’s defeat of racism hadn’t actually happened. |

In the bible, when god wanted to derail a project he simply miracled up diversity and the project collapsed due to diversity wrecking it. ( tower of babel. ) its supposed to be a story explaining where all the different languages came from, but its just as much a warning of what pure diversity brings to the table. Chaos.
Hiring a engineer, doctor, cop, etc based on their excellent capabilities , despite their race because they excell at their job , well, thats good diversity, it brings good things. Hiring a engineer, cop etc, based on their race, despite their poor capabilities, thats bad diversity and it leads to bad things. |

This is why diversity doesn't work:
There are a number of studies which suggest that being tribalistic is a basic, primal instinct that is hard-wired into the human brain through evolution as an adaptive response to ensure survival. Due to the fact that early human survival was based on tribal living, outsiders were viewed as a threat, and they usually were. This is why many believe that in Africa (the cradle of life), lighter skinned humans were driven out or self-segregated themselves to the northern part of the world. Some have even argued that Neanderthals and other human sub-species were hunted and driven to extinction because of this instinct. Despite how much lip service people give to diversity and inclusion, this instinct is why people naturally self-segregate (the most diverse cities in America are also the most self-segregated). It's why people who live in diverse neighborhoods tend to be more socially isolated and less trusting of their neighbors (the Robert Putnam study demonstrating that was posted above). As a whole, it's why multi-culturalism and forced diversity are such abysmal failures. |

My experiences with anti-white racism go a little bit beyond "Some old black lady giving me the stink eye and calling me a honky." For decades, going to a majority black school has basically guaranteed an assault (most likely multiple) due to the color of your skin. For decades, there has been a noteworthy part of the black community that views white people with contempt, blames them for all of their ills in the world, etc. Yes, this sort of stuff was worsened by Obama getting elected, but it's existed to a noteworthy degree for decades upon decades. |

Inclusion/acceptance used to apply to everyone accepting everyone else. Recently it seems to mean that you have to accept "them", but they don't have to accept "you".

Quite telling that this DEI shit is only being pushed in the West.
I got a new job almost a year ago, as their environmental sustainability manager for our 16 North American facilities. My focus initially was on energy management, process efficiencies, etc. The PE firm that owned us put us up for sale. Another PE firm bought us at the end of 2021, all woke millennials on staff. Their huge push now is DEI and ESG. With an emphasis on the S. I wouldn't be surprised if very soon they hire a VP of DEI. They already have a VP of ESG who looks to be about 30 years old, if that. Luckily I am in a position to go into business for myself, in a non-woke line of work. Got the groundwork laid, should be able to pull the pin in the next couple of months. Get woke, lose your staff |

Diversity is pushed as a way of strengthening everything including the country, schools, workplaces, families, etc. There are various articles/blogs/military articles that push for diversity: https://taskandpurpose.com/opinion/army-officer-diversity-inclusion/ To win in a complex world, Army leaders will not necessarily need an additional set of hands to help lift a heavy rock. Our leaders will need diverse teammates who will point out that the rock we are trying to lift is not actually rock at all, but something else altogether. To enable this reality, leaders ought to invest energy and time into two areas: cultivating moral courage and having an appreciation for meekness. https://www.togetherplatform.com/blog/diversity-as-a-strength-in-the-workplace A multi-national study found that diversity and innovation were linked. Companies that were more diverse had 19 percent higher innovation revenues, according to the study by Harvard Business Review. That data was confirmed by another study that found companies with racial and ethnic diversity earned about 35 percent more than the industry average. Furthermore, companies with gender diversity earned around 15 percent more than the industry average.

Diversity and inclusion is strength =
Just more Marxist meaningless dribble and claptrap. |

I have no objection to diversity. I object to forcing diversity through quotas, lowering standards and qualifications, or excluding more qualified candidates in favor of less qualified (but more “diverse”) candidates. I have no objection to inclusion, unless the practice of inclusion is the selective application of exclusion, or inclusion demands tolerance for that which is intolerable. Equity, as it relates to social issues, is nonsense. Those who advocate for “equity” are fools who seek equality of outcome, regardless of effort and ability, rather than equality of opportunity.

Diversity can be found within a single race. Pushing it just causes us to settle in order to meet quotes or appear woke.

Once you took territory you weren't allowed to retreat for any reasons at all. The roman empire failed by being an empire in the first place. Empires collapse because they require huge bureaucracies and massive centralized power can't begin to give true justice to the people living under them. They take what (just barely at best) works locally and try to centralize it.
