Celebrating Diversity!
Ha, that was a joke. So what if an office employes mostly white people? So what if a school has more blacks than whites? So what if a neighborhood is comprised of mostly hispanics? People go where they feel comfortable. If they feel more comfortable amongst people similar to them then good for them. If people have expanded their comfort zones and self intergrate then great. If the students at a school are divided evenly by race then thats awesome. My point is that diversity is a fine great thing really, but not something that is essential for function…and not something to spend millions of dollars to educate the public on. Diversity will happen on its own, it already is. Spend money on education. When I was in school there were no obvious race issues. You could be friends with anyone and everyone…and yes it was a public school too. The only time race was ever an issue is when the school decided that we should learn about it in class, and it basically consisted of ”you should be nice to black people” completely leaving out the long list of other minorities. The United States of America is all about accepting everyone. Now the government has gone further in telling us not to only accept others but not to expect others to accept us. If I hear about one more christmas tree that had to be removes or a holiday name that had to be changed then I will know that we are no longer about accepting everyone, but about throwing away our identities until there are no longer any differences between our people to accept. We will eventually become a world of coffee colored people who celebrate seasonal changes with stupid holiday names like Winter vacation, and Spring holiday. People, keep your identities and accept others. Besides, if we lose our cultural identities that means we lose the cultural food too. In all honesty “american food” other than Carolina BBQ pretty much kills you.
