Everyone on city data thinking about moving to an expensive city claims they want "culture and diversity" so I'm trying to define what diversity is, because I'm not sure I understand. I'm presenting the following scenarios. Please comment on whether they represent diversity.
A) A black neighborhood that has a strip mall with a Chinese carryout.
B) A neighborhood in Manhattan that has people from all over the world living in it. Virtually household earns at least $150,000/year.
C) A mostly white area with trendy Asian restaurants on the commercial strip.
D) A low income minority neighborhood in DC with white hipsters moving.
E) A wealthy Cuban neighborhood in Miami.
Diversity according to C-D is consists either of these two criterias: Racial or Ethnic
A. Unless that ''black neighborhood'' also has plenty of non black people, or has black people of different ethnicities, then it is not diverse.
B. Diverse
C. When you say ''mostly'', are saying like over 90%? If it is along those lines, then I don't think the neighborhood can be consider diverse, unless the majority white neighborhood comprises of different ethnic Europeans , or a signficant amount of people who are perceived as non white.
D. Yes it can be consider diverse, if the minority population is diverse.
E. If its like 85% Cuban or something, then I don't think so.
Racist code word whose original meaning has been lost in the socio-political world.
Diversity of thought is desirable and has been replaced with the generic term 'diversity' which is often misused and detrimental to whatever condition it is applied or legislated.
Diversity used to be applicable to specific situations. Diversity of plant life or diversity of culture to the exclusion of most cultures and confused with race and ethnicity, again to the exclusion of non targeted races and ethnicities.
Used as a code word whose meaning everyone pretends to understand despite the generic application which defeats the meaning of its intended use.
I have a diverse collection of fishing lures and hats.
I am looking for a diverse neighborhood which has a mixture of woods fileds and streams. Anyone know of a diverse neighborhood?
di·ver·si·ty (d-vûr s-t, d-) n. pl. di·ver·si·ties. 1. a. The fact or quality of being diverse; difference. b. A point or respect in which things differ.
