Do you find it funny that the root word to "Diversity" is divide?

Question

Is that why our government is so excited about it?

Answer 1

Divide and conquer.

That is how America will fall.

As the enemy is flying jets into our buildings we will still be arguing over affirmative action.

The root of this agenda lies within our intellectual elite, who have been corrupted by generations of bad philosophy.

Answer 2

The root word of DIVERSITY is DIVIDE.
DIVIDE is DIVISION.
That cannot be argued. Those are the words. Their meanings. Their definitions.

This so called "diversity" that we are being plagued by is intended to divide the people.
United we stand, divided we fall.

Answer 3

A diversion implies at least two alternatives: the original and the diversion. To divert (i.e., diversity) is to assume a secondary direction, to have more than one direction. To divide can be to take a larger group and to make a larger number of smaller groupings. (One group of 8 divided by 4 =2, i.e., one group of 8 can be divided into 2 groups of 4 each.) No, I don't find it funny. You can't have societal diversity without groups and division results in groups, i.e., results in greater diversity. What's your point? Diversity does not mean homogeneity. It means a divided whole, by definition. Indivisible nation refers to national sovereignty, common central government.

Answer 4

I don't find it funny in the least. It is just a part of word structure. And the div part of the 2 words does just what it is supposed to do. To diversify, a portion of the whole must be branched, thus a division, and diversity, as opposed to everything being the same.

Answer 5

Latin Word For Diverse

Answer 6

Its just a word with no sinister intent. Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.

snippet>>>"The Latin root word of “diversity” is the verb divertere, which means to “turn in different directions.”<<<

snippet>>>"The Latin roots for the word diverse have an interesting array of meanings.

One definition means "another, different."

Then there's one that means "spotted; striped; varying; changeable; and versatile."

Another says diversity means "in different directions; opposite; remote; diametrically opposed; hostile; unsettled; individuals; opposite side; opposite view.<<<

Answer 7

Yes, strangely funny. I think you've got it!

Answer 8

No it isn't. It's "diversite", meaning "more than one kind".
