    As an educated atheist, I would argue diversity is a bunch of made up BS found only in the minds of humans. I don’t support the movement because acknowledging false diversity is one of the worst parts of humans. The truth is, from a scientific perspective, there is no such thing as diversity in humans.......We are frankly all the same. Do you call an orange cat and a black cat in the same room diversity of cats? You don’t! Well why are humans doing it. Did you know that same sex attraction exists in the animal kingdom?? Get a clue and educate yourself! The term diversity does more to divide us than it does to unite us. It’s just another side of the same stupid coin. Humans need to wake up and realize, that we are not the only intelligent species on the planet, in fact, we are one of the weakest, dumbest, most violent, irresponsible, over rated species on the planet........and NO, this planet was not created for us! We have created a made up world that doesn’t exist and we teach our children that made up reality is “OK” from the day they are born when we baptize them. Most of the excuses we use to exercise the hate within us can be traced back to our ridiculous Religions. Until we abandon religion, we are doomed and won’t progress as a species. Now will getting rid of religion end hate.......heck no, but at least we as a species will start to acknowledge we are not “all that and a bag of chips”. Our hate stems from our biological greed and our will to eliminate competition.

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    That’s not even remotely what it means. It’s an acknowledgement that we go through life not dealing with or even thinking about daily harassment. It’s actually a notion that you’re humbled by your random lot in life, and that you have empathy for people who’ve had different life experiences.

    There are many ways in which humans treat one another poorly, race, gender or sexuality are only just a few. Humans discriminate against weight, beauty, height, wealth, power, titles, zip code, sports teams, nationality and any excuse they can find. Don’t mistaken “Hate” with specific attributes. If someone has hate in their heart.......and many humans do.........it will manifest itself some way. Try being a 400lb white woman in this country, now tell me about white privilege. You fools think you can eliminate hate from the world because you are blinded into believing humans are good. Humans are not altruistic, we are animals.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    In a thread full of insanely stupid shit; I applaud you for raising the bar!

    You are missing the point, the idea of privilege is relative. If you were a stage 4 cancer patient, the entire species would be privileged compared to you. You could argue, we are privileged just to be born in this country. It is a pointless, endless argument.

    Quoted from cait001:

    It's only pointless if you see it as some zero-sum game to be won.

    We must first admit what we are before we can address what we want to be. “Empathy”, the most important word in the English language, the only world that has not been used once in this thread. The ability to feel Empathy is the highest level of intelligence a human can achieve. Zero-Sum game is nonsense, look around, the human species is the true manifestation of the devil. You want to make the world a better place, stop making human babies.

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    You can always find an individual who's got it rough compared to another. That's not the topic or issue.
    We're talking about SYSTEMIC racism/sexism/privilege. It's a thing, it's provable, it's real, it affects people's lives daily....and we can do our part to minimize & eliminate the negative affects of it.

    Minimizing the issue by offering irrelevant comparisons. Then saying we can't solve the issue cuz we all suck.
    You're representing the absolute laziest stance....and unfortunately, that's dangerous for the people who are negatively affected by this issue.

    Oh and all of the other forms of discrimination are not systemic???

    I have said my peace and I am out! Keep up the great work people, you too Rarehero! Discussion is good, fighting for a good cause can never be bad. Diversity is beautiful.......... always has been and always will be. People who fight for diversity are “awesome” in my book.
