I caught a radio ad promoting Diversity the other day on the Dennis Miller show. Here’s a partial transcript:
Obviously White young girl: “Gee, you work with lots of people who don’t look like you at all!”
White mother: “What do you mean?”
Girl: “Well, there are Asian people, African-American people, Latino people–”
Mother: “We all work together as a team.”
Girl: “Aren’t they different from you?”
Mother: “In a way, yes. But those differences are good. They mean different ways of seeing things, different ways of thinking things, different ways of doing things.”
Girl: “But if those differences are so good where you work, why does everyone where we’re living look just like us?”
Wise Announcer: “Diversity shouldn’t be left behind at work each day. Prepare your children for the coming global life that lies ahead. Your family doesn’t live in a 9-to-5 world. Why should Diversity?”
The ad is sponsored by the National Fair Housing Alliance, which proudly proclaims that it is “dedicated to the creation and sustenance of diverse communities throughout the nation.” We can be assured their vision for us is good, because its members include such enlightened entities as Wachovia, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae, which, now that I think about it, are some of the chief proponents of the diversity-at-any-cost policies that gave us the ongoing Diversity Recession.
But I quibble. Let’s take the ad’s message at face value. The first thing it’s telling us is that thinking, seeing, and behaving are determined by race — an idea that I thought was considered eeeevil. Guess I’m behind the times.
And if that assumption is true, then the radio ad raises a question: Since Magic happens when people of different races work together, why aren’t all the Nobel prizes swept up every year by people in racially diverse areas, such as Brazil and south Los Angeles? And here’s an interesting implication: If a homogeneous community is fatally hobbled by its dull uniformity, shouldn’t measures be taken to prevent people from intermarrying and creating a homogenous community of mestizos? Clearly, the government should criminalize marriage among different races — how else can we continue to enjoy the mysterious creativity that emerges when the different ways of thinking, seeing, and doing things bump into one another, making those stimulating sparks when people of different races interact?
Of course, I’m not advocating those things, I’m just thinking about the logical implications of the National Fair Housing Alliance radio ad. And you’re not supposed to think when you hear ads promoting Diversity.

Good Article!……..Neal Boortz commencement address at Texas A&M touched on diversity as the Faculty fainted and cried.

But for those of us that have cast PC to the wind, this one is really good!

Diversity is wonderful: there should be experts in different fields working together.
“Racial diversity” doesn’t inherently offer anything beneficial. A black doesn’t magically offer something beneficial by his being black. Were I to say the same about a white, I’d be slurred as “racist”.
Increasing diversity programs are usually at the expense of whites, as well as Asians in some rare instances. Somehow I doubt this alliance will be aiding whites seeking to move into a ghetto. As whites shrink in relative number, this exploitation is going to be less justifiable and more noticeable.

i’ll leave my personal travails out of this
message, but whatever entity it is that “incorporates” our governments and churches
would appear to be a prima facia culprit
(“money for nothing and your checks for free, d.s)
“life, liberty, and the pursuit of property,”a.s.
…and not necessarily for the governmental/church nexus and its’ “chosen seed”

The President of Brazil stated that whites are the cause of this global meltdown. These are becoming dangerous times folks.

Great article! Your analysis is spot-on.
I heard this ad yesterday and was sickened. You roundly defeated its poor reasoning; one thing about the ad that really irritated me though was just the general spirit of the thing. So some partly-government-funded (Fannie Mae is a sponsor) group is going to now scold us for not having enough people in our neighborhood of a different color? Am I to feel guilty? How ought I to respond – pack up and move to an area filled with other-colored people? But then I would just sit in haughty judgement of them, knowing that I had sacrificed for the good of the world (apparently), but they – the selfish ones – had stayed put, expecting diversity to just “happen” around them. Then I’d probably vote for politicians who promised to force that kind of residential integration, threatening penalties for those who resist.
Anyways…
