> Of all the people at a multiethnic women’s college who could hold the school’s “diversity” seat, the least fitting one was a white man.

I don't know about the "white" part, but putting a man in such a seat would seem to be more appropriate than putting a woman in it.

Doesn't anyone else remember what "diversity" means?

You and the parent are both absolutely correct, in real life.

It's just that iiuc, Wellesley doesn't sell "diversity," but "women."

Wellesley's failure to take a stance on having transmen around indicates hesitation and fear on their part (understandably so, imho) b/c who really knows - at this time - what is fair and just for their product case.

Do they count women who became men as women, b/c that's part of the female experience? Or do they count them as men, b/c they're not women? Who knows.

"Diversity" is code for anti white discrimination. Whenever you hear the word "diversity" know that it very much means deliberate anti white racism. We destroy over 4% of GDP every year on "diversity."
