Analyzing is not the same as defending. Do we have a good definition of “racial diversity” and what it would bring us? With genetic testing, it is becoming apparent that skin color doesn’t ‘prove’ racial composition. So what is race? I don’t understand the ?why" of this emphasis on black skin. And I have a black son and two black grandchildren. They are in color brown but given how race is defined legally they are black. The diversity my son would bring is that he is a police detective and neither he nor his wife went to college. He would be miserable here. He would think we were all stupid liberals. That’s the part of him that has brought great diversity to our family. And I’m not sure it was a good idea for him to be in a diverse family. Just sharing that to show what experience I’m basing my arguments on. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC http://www.takomavillage.org
