YES. I get so sick of it. When diversity takes over to the point where it makes no sense and breaks laws or moral beliefs.
Don't get me wrong, I have many friends of different colors
and backgrounds. But they earned there stature in life. It was not
"given" to them. A person getting a job or college education because of their skin color or nationality for example.
At my work place, an big American automaker, we often have
Europeans that have rotated out to run things here in the U.S.
Why? Who know the U.S. market better then us Americans?
Also, the company undertook a huge diversity program. Within 100 ft of my desk I work with people from all over the world.
But where did that get us? We are bleeding red ink, job losses,
and some bland product. And I have to explain how a simple component works to some guy who barely has command of the English language? What B.S. Diversity is fine, within limits. But this quota stuff, is just wrong.

Although diversity is pretty much the root of all the problems in the world, I think its definatly more interesting. If all people thought the same way it just wouldn't be as much fun. Humans need a little strife in their life.

Diversity for me as a christian has taught me how not to judge a person by their outside appearance, which is what Jesus tried to teach us.
Personally, I appreciate that mindset.
But where I have a problem wiith it is when it means a person is expected to embrace another person's belief system. Respect their right to that belief system absolutely. But I don't want to have to deny my own beliefs in order to embrace someone else's beliefs. Or worse yet, have to modify my own beliefs to fit into society's mold.

Not when it includes all definitions of the word and not just race. When it is used to counteract ignorance, exclusion and hatred it is very good. No, it is not overrated and it makes the world a better place for us oft hated darker skin Children of God. Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?
Sorry to quote Boy George, that just made my whole response null, didn't it? Well, again, no honeybunchesofoats, it is not hardly overrated. It is grossly underestimated.

Diversity is necessary to promote tolerance. Unfortunately, what many people think of as "diversity" is people with different hair or eye colors, not people of differrent ethnic/cultural backgrounds.

Yeah. I'm going to have little racially mixed babies but don't worry, I don't think they'll be any better than the others. There's not anything especially great about that except at certain times it may have helped strengthen the gene pool so we wouldn't get as many inbred diseases such as the Amish have had problems with.

We are with you, sister. If God wanted so much diversity, He never would have destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
