Talk:Diversity

message: "These critics claim that pluralism is a more accurate term for the presence of variation, and that, under the banner of "diversity," groups actually forbid criticism of groups that are, in essence, privileged by their minority status."
:Isn't diversity actually a purely descriptive term which says that there a given society consists of more than one group? What is treated under the label of diversity here has more to do with value judgements of this situation and should, in my opinion, rather go under respect for diversity or perhaps multiculturalism. 
:Moreover, I find this whole section very partisan, representing mainly an anti-diversity POV. --Robin.rueth 07:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

How exactly are white males a "non-minority group"? If 51-52% of the population are women, then men (or any proper subset of that category) technically can't be a non-minority, at least in the mathematical sense of these words. --66.102.74.57 03:29, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: These arguments need to be elaborated upon in the article.  FYI, quoting a book doesn't prove an argument.  Cornel West is not infallible.  Keep in mind, the pot is calling the kettle white.  So:
# Explain why "minority" does not refer to the mathmatically fewer group.
# Explain what a minority is not.  Is it any dominant group?  Or is it a combination of all dominant groups, i.e., those who are Anglo-Saxon, male, mainstream Protestant, heterosexual, middle-to-upper-class, physically and mentally able, etc.?  If the former, is a gay white male not a minority?  If the latter, who are these people?
I don't know if there's an end to all this.  These politically-charged abstract Latinate terms can mean whatever you want them to.  That's how you "export democracy."

message: On a less divisive note, there is at least one that links here, but intend to refer to the computer science principle of "diversity" (of system architectures, etc) to prevent massive failures- can anyone think of where that link could be redirected to in that entry (Fault-tolerance, or some kind of cross-reference, or something?

message: That TI section seems a bit offtopic. Maybe cut it into its own article and link it to this one? It also sounds like it was written by a disgruntled employee.
: it at least needs some dates in it. For instance, is this an ongoing practice? an ongoing lawsuit? is it pretty old? --Amoore 02:32, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

::Someone keeps trying to add a link to 'an old ship by the name of Diversity'. The article they are attempting to link to does not exist. If you have any references to verify the existence, please provide them and/or create the article for the USS or CSS (it is unclear from these minimal inclusions which side the ship belonged to) Diversity yourself.
