Diversity

Question: can diversity be accomplished in a meeting full of white males?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Answer: Yes, diversity can be accomplished in a room full of white males. There are farmers and city slickers, there are gay and straight, there are educated and uneducated, there are engineers and poly sci majors, there are so many different points of view and so many different cultural exposures even within white populations. I just think that too often there's a strong association between the word 'diversity' and the idea of making sure there's at least one or two black people in your meeting/company/school.
