the school i go to is pretty diverse. yet, i see people stick to their race a lot. in the cafeteria and around school activities. people who you'd never think have racist views even if their in a diverse setting. it looks like diversity just helps us acknowledge the fact the other ethnicities exist. anyone agree or disagree???

Yes, the diversity of needs brought us together. We get together because you have something I need and I have something you need.

Well just because there a lot of different ethnicities doesnt mean they are going to hang out, but if they do then yes diversity is a good thing because once people learn about different cultures they arent as quick to judge because they understand it

I think that continuing to focus on the diversity just emphasizes the differences. If you are British, be British. If you are American, be American. Forget the hyphenated stuff. When I am asked for my "ethnicity" I claim Northern Californian. It certainly explains a lot more about me and my perspectives than what countries my ancestors came from several hundred years ago. (It also clears stuff up for the other citizens of Colorado, my "adopted homeland".) ; )

No.
Government-enforced "diversity" is just another failed program.
Not to say it couldn't work - but because of the preferences given to minorities, there's a percentage in it for them to remain separate.
What would happen to them if we really treated everyone equally? Lots of minorities and women without jobs, homes, cars, etc - because the govenrnment wouldn't be stealing your tax money to give away to other people, forcing companies to hire the incompetent, buying their food, paying their rent because they're a different color or gender.
So, forcing "diversity" is just another form of racism/sexism.

Diversity has nothing to do with trying to understand someone who is different than you. It really is just a Politically Correct buzzword for Patrinization and Tollerance.
As soon as the vast majority of Black America finally realize this the Demoncrat Party will actually have to work for their votes for once.

Yes and No.
Yes, it makes people aware of diversity and all.
No because sometimes, we stop people from looking at each and every races as a whole. We are people of the world-not oh..these are blacks, whites, hispanics...something like that. It somehow differentiate people way too much.

Multiculturalism doesn't usually take off in places that don't have challenging systems of education. Which is why North America in general may be way behind Europe in terms of cultural integration, according to some social experts.

in case you replace the be conscious "knowledge' with the be conscious 'information' then the answer on your question is a vast sure. knowledge isn't like information . as an get mutually , if I actually have discomfort in my abdomen i will keep in mind that there is something incorrect yet I even haven't any information as to why there is this discomfort and that i won't be able to impressive myself with out this information . Likewise if I actually have self information then i will comprehend extra obviously human beings from that attitude . this is a extra purpose one than the subjective actually one of an basic knowledge of the others . after we've this we can be able to settle for others with their obstacles and falliabilities.

if we were all the same it would be a boring world. being diverse helps to preserve our different cultures which make each of us unique. I have friends from other countries & this makes things exciting because we learn one anothers traditions & customs.

It's not so much race as it is cultural. At my high school, the Bosnian kids stuck together, the Egyptian kids another, the Romanians have another group, the African kids another, and the Black (not born in Africa) kids another. People are often comfortable speaking in their native languages about their own particular cultural concerns
