Fun question here, is diversity of ideas and beliefs as important as diversity of race/gender/class?

Asking this one to hear some honest answers (and of course recognizing that latter may lead to the former in some circumstances)

I like other races but I can mostly do without women.

If that's the evolution of mankind then so be it. We're already a pretty diverse country as it is.

It would be nice though if we don't all become one big race with the same skin color. How boring would that be?

All of us on the board will be dead by then anyways.

Radical Muslims exploiting the American immigration is essentially a Trojan horse within the country.

Diversity is basically a synonym for multiculturalism. The left thinks that's great, but history has not shown that multiculturalism works in a society over a long period of time. Europe is going to be destroyed by multiculturalism. Having a similar language and shared values is more important than having different types of people for the sake of having different types of people. It is in fact damaging to American society if people who do not share the values of America are embraced as Americans without requiring any sort of assimilation.

Diversity requires assimilation.

Then that wouldn't really be diversity, would it? At a minimum it then leads to the question that Killer V asked above.

I don't see how you can have diversity if those people aren't interacting a good portion of the time.

But that gets into what we mean by "diversity". You'd have to be a real asshole to want everyone to have the same skin color as you, eat the same food as you, pray to the same god as you. But I don't think it's evil to not want people who think blacks should use separate restrooms, who think women are the property of men, etc. Should we accept those people and their ideas for the sake of "diversity"?
