Seriously - if we are going to be SERIOUS about diversity - I want to see THOSE fucking awards much sooner than later.
Lets not exclude any of our protected groups. On the topic of diversity - Anybody want to take a stab at a concept that sits at the opposite end of the "unity" spectrum?
Diversity.
Lets do a quick excursion into the etymology of the word "diversity"
Quote:
diversity (n.)
mid-14c., diversite, "variety, diverseness;" late 14c., "quality of being diverse, fact of difference between two or more things or kinds; variety; separateness; that in which two or more things differ," mostly in a neutral sense, from Old French diversete "difference, diversity, unique feature, oddness:" also "wickedness, perversity" (12c., Modern French diversité), from Latin diversitatem (nominative diversitas) "contrariety, contradiction, disagreement;" also, as a secondary sense, "difference, diversity," from diversus "turned different ways" (in Late Latin "various"), past participle of divertere

Now, lets continue to classify people and put them into isolated groups so we can be more unified in our diversity.
Inclusive diversity - it's what for dinner.
and peas - peas are for dinner too
now, go eat your fucking peas
