When and why did diversity become a value unto itself?

i thought diversity was an american meme.

Diversity as an end in and of itself became a thing as part of the fight for affirmative action. Universities and some other organizations wanted to institute AA as sort of a form of reparations, but this isn't politically appealing to a lot of people and can run afoul of anti-discrimination laws.

Affirmative action in the US, in its most quota-driven form, was introduced during the Nixon administration, but was rejected by many people and ended up violating the constitution. So they had to work under the "diversity is important" idea as a means of justifying affirmative action.

Every single instance in history has pointed to multiculturalism inevitably failing.

Empires that don't assimilate foreign populations to the native culture get ripped apart at the seams.

America was a god damn assimilation machine in previous centuries, but now that this diversity shit is being pushed so hard divisions between races have never been wider.

>The image is quite interesting because it confirms my observation that the political left has completely given up on economic issues
An MS paint image "confirms your observations" therefore it must be fact? I think you might have been able to hear me laughing from whatever basement you are posting from.
Maybe the left have "given up" on economic issues because any policy that is suggested that isn't a laissez faire capitalist one is instantly demonized as COMMIE STEALING and attacked on all fronts since the average layman won't bother to read a bill anyway.

>An MS paint image "confirms your observations" therefore it must be fact? I think you might have been able to hear me laughing from whatever basement you are posting from.
It confirms my observations in the sense that there's someone out there who has noticed something similar, and he ended up painting the picture. An observation being 'confirmed' does not necessarily make it a fact, it merely means that it hasn't been 'refuted'. I propose you go read more Popper and try to lecture people on the internet a little less.

>Maybe the left have "given up" on economic issues because any policy that is suggested that isn't a laissez faire capitalist one is instantly demonized as COMMIE STEALING and attacked on all fronts since the average layman won't bother to read a bill anyway.
Is that so? I think it's more an issue of people having come to terms with the status quo. The political left of today doesn't want to change the means of production - they want for everyone to have an equal chance to get a job, regardless of identity. That's their political vision.

>It confirms my observations in the sense that there's someone out there who has noticed something similar
And scientologists have an a mass of believers who notice similar things, as do anti-vaccers and flat-earthers.

>I think it's more an issue of people having come to terms with the status quo
I agree with this, but it's hard to keep a large amount of power without following status quo as most people are reluctant to change and go along with whatever the herd is doing. Add disinformation and 24 hour propaganda distribution and you have a recipe for fear driven homogeneity.

...

Lol no you just didnt fucking know. Black people have never had a more positive view of race relations or the country as a whole and the direction its going in. Just because they want to see more change doesn't mean they dont think it hasnt gotten better.

>The defeat of the Nazis caused a backlash against everything they stood for, including and especially ethnonationalism.

This, plus a large helping of christian morality disassociated from the religion itself.
People are still big on the whole forgiveness, turn-the-other-cheek, love-thy-neighbour stuff, and they think helping the weak and especially strangers is a highly noble thing to do.

Well now I want neopolitan ice cream.

Yes the article is pretty cringy but the poll was solid. There are a bunch of others that say the same but I am lazy

esquire.com/news-politics/a40693/american-rage-nbc-survey/

Right wingers need laborers as well as "growth" and left wingers need votes

That article gave me cancer. I know these aren't your personal opinions, but most of these polls drive home the white VS black identity that is being sensationalized so much these days and is (in my opinion) what is to blame about a lot of the events that are going on.

When black people talk about "race relations" they mean blacks getting along with whites, they could care less about hispanics and all other immigrants, and they don't even bother to include them in the questions. In my opinion, these types of articles contribute to the Black vs White battle that ignores the other majority of American opinions.

>The defeat of the Soviets caused a backlash against everything they stood for, including and especially ethnonationalism.

FTFY

It was always value unto itself, user.

The same reason why there is division of labor, i.e. society need to be diverse to work as single entity.

Diversity in the American sense is the opposite of multiculturalism

He isn't wrong. The concept of race is a huge social impediment.

Because big corporations want a big work force which will drive down wages and increase their short-term profits.

When and why did diversity become a problem unto itself?

Have some Porkies, then.

Unless it's the jewish race, in which case it's ok to compaign for the preservations of it.

>a paint image drawn by an anonymous person confirms my observation

...

There is no Jewish race

>Every single instance in history has pointed to multiculturalism inevitably failing.

Everything inevitably fails going by that

>And scientologists have an a mass of believers who notice similar things, as do anti-vaccers and flat-earthers.
Yes; or like a scientist who observes things, makes up his mind in regards to their nature and then puts his ideas to the test in order to see them either confirmed or refuted. I think you should drop the whole thing since you're only making a fool of yourself. And I was serious about reading Popper.

>I agree with this
Good.

You should refer to .

you're a fucking idiot

different people vring different points of view, take the gaming indusrty as an example if most companies werent run by old retard ceos they would make way more money and different people could try to pander to different demographics

Division of labor is a very different thing from ethnic diversity, you can say that you "need" the garbage man, the lawyer and the entrepeneur, but I dont see why you "need" the Kurds, the Somalis, etc.

Didn't society work as a single entity before mass immigration from non-western countries into Europe?

>Any answers, including the word Jew, will be thrown out
>Any answers

>Any answers will be thrown out

Why ask the question then?

Yeah let's throw away 100.000 years of evolution (and blood, sweat and tears).

Ah that explains why all those racially homogeneous civilizations over the course of human history never worked until diversity was implemented.

>they know

This is because race is social construct i.e. plays no role in skills and an abilities, in all of the things that matters for division of labor.

are you okay? that has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the idea of breaking down race AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT

Agreed. There is still zero empirical evidence of "race," other than what one superficially observes. But in that case, it's no different from hair or eye color. In fact, with the newer and cheaper forms of genetic history being conducted, it appears to demonstrate the reverse: That "race" itself is a mere social construct with no real value or force.

You can't "break down" what never really existed to begin with.

"Hello, I am king of this primitive tribe here. I noticed a lot of babies being born with light fuzzy hair. My political rival has fuzzy hair. I cannot prove that my political rival fathered all these children. Regardless though, I will make an edict that will exile all fuzzy light-haired individuals to their own tribe. That will surely take care of the problem. Goddamn fuzzies ruining our local economy and such"

Race is not a social construct. Our idea of race (the scientific concept) is a product of patterns in our observed reality. If you want to remove the presence of "race" in society you need to remove racial diversity.

How does one even become this hilariously brainwashed? Disturbing to say the least. Please try to educate yourself ASAP. You could start by searching for "race" in a search engine of your choice.

best pic ever

>Our idea of race (the scientific concept) is a product of patterns in our observed reality.
Except said "patterns" in our "observed reality" is highly arbitrary and changes over time.

You have shit like people from the same race of the ethno-genetic type with the same fucking physical features calling each other different races just because the other cunt has another religion, spoke a similar yet different language, or just plain did not live in the area of perceived race.

Classical Greece & Macedon is a perfect example of this.

wow. You're fucking brainwashed. Just fucking wow.

>There is still zero empirical evidence of "race,"

Except there fucking is. You fucking bluepilled moron.

>Our idea of race (the scientific concept) is a product of patterns in our observed reality.

^ Appeal to vagueness masquerading as evidence. "Wink-wink" arguments don't count for shit, user. You can do better, can't you?

>How does one even become this hilariously brainwashed?

Mere skepticism isn't brainwashing.

>You could start by searching for "race" in a search engine of your choice.

What if I did and came up with nothing substantial. You're going to have to get off your lazy ass and debate, instead of hand-waving google off to do it for you.

That is, if you really cared about the topic to begin with.

>Except there fucking is.

^ Argumentum ad lapidem/mere assertion

>You fucking bluepilled moron.

. . .PLUS a bonus ad hom for free? How wonderful!

so that's why Hillary is going to win?

Race isn't evolutionary, it's social.

I'm not saying we need to all marry propped from different ethnic backgrounds, that's stupid. But the concept of race is new, emerging out of colonial structures in the 16th century. Race is shallow, based more on phenotype than genetic.

An Ethiopian and a West African are genetically less distant than a Frenchmen and a Maya native... yet the first two are one race, while the second two are different races.

>An Ethiopian and a West African are genetically less distant than a Frenchmen and a Maya native... yet the first two are one race, while the second two are different races.
You do realize what you said proves you wrong?

Race =/= genetic distance you dumb fuck

is thataway pal

Race isn't variation, it's classification

Because it maintains class hierarchies, leaving the pinks who matter at the top while those who just aspire for it are mired at the bottom, all so the whole thing isn't brought crashing down.

Try and read thread.
Literally full of nonesensical childish arguments.
Is there some better place/forum/imageboard to discuss history and humanities?

>Hillary
>progressive egalitarian
Pick one, idiot

>we are all one race: the human race: the thread: the sequel
Be sure to mix with as many different races as possible, except for G*ds chosen few we must remain pure.

A more accurate cartoon would have no pink people in the bottom tier.

>Except said "patterns" in our "observed reality" is highly arbitrary and changes over time.
Taxonomy in general is also highly arbitrary yet I doubt you'd be so quick to commit to the corollary that species are also an irrelevant social construct.

Then again who knows with you cultural marxists, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you started undermining the concept of species too in a few decades if no one stops you.

Jews are heterogeneous as fuck

Well I am so sorry history doesnt show race as neat, constant, taxonomies the way you wanted it, nigga.

It just means Greeks and Macedonians are the same racial grouping if they look so similar where as a Nigerian is different.

Taxonomies are not, nor have ever been constant. That does not suddenly invalidate their usefulness nor does it invalidate the existence of the subjects they attempt to describe.

Race is real.
Gender is real.
Species is real.
Your ideology's attempt to unravel these concepts by pulling at stray threads will not be allowed to continue or succeed.

It does you dumb fucking numale cuck

Asians literally have abnormal earwax

Blacks have heads almost as long as tall

Race is absolutely real, but it's still founded in social perception

Cultural Marxism, first and foremost.

>any answers including the word "Jew will be disregarded

Jew detected.

Just like the rest of civilization, then?

> Race is real.
Yes, as social construct.

If it wasn't such a serious issue I would be laughing at all the mental gymanstics being preformed by shills and useful idiots here.

I assume not being able to donate bone marrow to other races is just a spook as well, innit?

I do not understand their attempts to subsume all other fields as social constructs. Except perhaps unless they wished to have power over which ideas are validated in the marketplace of ideas.

All social constructs have basis in the true objective reality we live in.

While specialisation of the hunan genome is much more complicated than simply the skin colour, it serves as a useful heuristic.

For example the capacity for intelligence is genetic and there is no reason to not assume that different populations over time would have differing capabilities.

You can jump up and down and scream about societal factors such as wealth inequality and institutional racism but with proper care one can control for these factors.

This is the standardized answer for ethnopluralists. And it's still bullshit.
Source: Provide me with examples of empires that assimilated foreign populations or excluded foreign populations all together that didn't "get ripped apart at the seams".

Screencap this and repost it in every thread on /pol/, in every "race"-discussion etc, until the morons understand. Oh, wait...they're morons, they won't understand.

>When and why did diversity become a value unto itself?
I'm aware that my answer is controversial, but I believe it to be the most explanatory answer other than "da joos".
tl;dr: Secularism.

Once upon a time, when the dinosaurs still walked the earth, Christianity held sway in the hearts and minds of the men of the West. While the morals imposed are of course important, the most important matter in this fact is that it gave people an (otherwise unjustified) faith in the objective. It gave them the faith that there's such a thing as true and false, as right and wrong, as virtue and sin. Social mores and society were designed according to these beliefs, and even in the supposed age of reason these ideas never lost their hold, even among the culturally Christian atheists.

After WW2, secularization kicked into overdrive, churches became empty at a much faster rate than before and faith had effectively disappeared. With faith goes the idea of the objective: as Nietzsche predicted morality collapses once God dies. Here's where the problems start: when you have an objective morality, you have "us" and "them". "They" have their own moral system, but their system is wrong. "Our" system is right, even if we do not always live up to it. But what if "us" and "our" system disappears? Then what is left to separate "us" from "them"? What is there to say that "their" system is wrong and ours right? What standard can we use to say that the system that tells us to pray for our enemies is better than the system that commands the greatest virtue is to fight and die in the name of Allah? Nothing.

Because there is no objectivity left, everyone becomes equal. There is no right, no wrong and the only "virtue" of this post-secular society becomes the pushing of the idea that we are all equal. Because claiming one is better than the other means evoking this objectivity we have abolished.

It's no coincidence that post-modernism and secularism arose in roughly the same period.

I too remember being brainwashed with "diversity = strength" when I was in elementary school. They never attempted to prove it, but they certainly made us make posters and drawings about it.

An entire generation has been brainwashed by these psychos.

>The political left of today doesn't want to change the means of production - they want for everyone to have an equal chance to get a job, regardless of identity
If that were true, why would a top 1% black student still get into colleges easier than a poor Asian American student? Shouldn't the left be looking at financial circumstances more than ethnicity if they truly cared about that?

I'm not buying it.

Except sub-Saharan Africans for example often have average IQ 20-30 points lower than average Westerner. But sure. That plays no role.

It is obviously a reaction against racism. Businesses adopt this dogma so they look like fanatical anti-racists too thereby making lawsuits more difficult, but anyone with intelligence can see straight through it.

Obviously knowing how to dance the samba or whatever doesn't make you a better accountant and no amount of mental gymnastics is going to change that. Of course in some area knowledge about a culture is useful like advertizing, though in this case the business would be looking for african americans to provide insights into african american culture, they weren't looking for a diverse mix of vietnamese, germans and mexicans.

Oh, gee...

>some jews agree with it
logically this doesn't prove there is a conspiracy, plz take this back to /pol/

Some Germans agreed to kill lots of Jews
Look what happened

This also forgets about jews like Eric Zemmour or Ben Shapiro who are both conservative and opposed to (Islamic) mass migration (but Ben Shapiro didn't support Trump so he must be part of the conspiracy too). Or the fact that the most Islamized parts of France have more of a Jewish Flight than a White Flight, and that Jews are overrepresented among FN voters despite the party's anti-semitic history.

The reason why so many Jews are anti-white should be obvious:
1. Progressives are overrepresented among academics
2. Jews are overrepresented among academics
3. ????

Some Germans couldn't do shit without a lot of Germans approving. Some Jews can't destroy the white race without the white race agreeing to their own destruction.

Those certain Germans lied to the majority of Germans. Those certain Jews thus lie to white people

So? The white majority is still at fault for believing these lies without criticism. Just like the Germans as a people can be blamed for electing Hitler and voting NSDAP. Perhaps not every individual German, but this construct called the German people clearly can. They were not innocent bystanders, they were enablers at best and supporters at worst.

And again, you're also forgetting the anti-progressive Jews white people refuse to listen to. A Zemmour-led conspiracy running France wouldn't be all that bad.

The problem is that most of these Jews resort to screaming anti semitism at the slightest criticism. Hell, even Ben Shapiro is prone to this

Now looks who's in charge and leading the progressive propaganda
Who teaches diversity is strength and pride ones country and ethnicity is evil, well only if you're white otherwise

Lol the answer traces itself to Jewish Marxists, whether you like it or not. Research people like Herbert Marcuse and Gramsci.
Gramsci in particular was a Marxist psychologist who defined the word "Xenophobia", the word itself implies that anyone that doesn't like other cultures must be sick in the head.
Diversity is an integral part of Cultural Marxism, designed to break down the communal homogeneity. This train of thought has been pushed through our education systems, a lot of people have gone through university who have then pushed it into our school system.
How does any ideology take root after all? Communication.
