Diversity used to mean diverse backgrounds, which included people from different groups such as:
Socioeconomic
Gender
Racial
THOUGHT
Geography
Education
Personality
Now diversity means only one thing: MORE BLACK PEOPLE. I'll give you an example. My boss said management was pushing us to get more diversity on our team, so I gave him resumes of people from diverse things from all of the items listed above. He said to me, "Uh, this wasn't what they meant. We need to find a few black people to hire. That's what they were looking for"
How and when did this term get perverted?
