That diversity stuff OUSD really working out great. We now have a diverse set of problems, not just all of the original problems too. How wonderful that when we imported India, we also got the diversity of India problems.

No, guys, it’s fine. This OSS a great thing to have all kinds of diverse problems of all the different cultures from everywhere all at the same time.

These problems don't go away if you ignore them. And your solution of not "importing different cultures" sure sounds like you want an ethnostate...

This but unsarcastically.

Think about how many white Americans will be able to see that this is wrong, when they think anti-Blackness is a matter of culture and assume people who speak African-American Vernacular English are less educated.

When we have a mix of problems, we can build large enough anti-discrimination coalitions to make none of those discriminatory beliefs advantageous to hold.
