is diversity important? yes.

how can we achieve diversity?  by making underrepresented people
qualified for high or coveted positions.  how do you do this?  by
making them invest the same kind of effort as the rest of society.

can this be achieved? of course. the underrepresented population has
to be goaded and pushed, given extra help to prepare for education,
inspirational leaders and workers to help them.

liberals can roll up their sleeves and work tirelessly as teachers or
tutors, doing the tough grunt work, like the woman in the 'miracle
worker'.

but liberals want to keep their hands clean. they don't want to work
closely with the underrepresented people. liberals want to watch
movies, write magazine articles, play videogames, socialize at cafes,
join the academe, sit around and spout political sermons and make
protest posters.  they want fun or symbolism, rather like rightwingers
who talk tough about war but didnt serve in the military and got their
kids into the national guard.

liberals want to sound highminded but don't want to dirty their hands
with the work that they really belive in. this is why they love
affirmative action.
so much easier to set a quota for the underrepresented group than
volunteer or seek jobs where they really have to declare a daily war
on inattentiveness ignorance, and laziness.  this is no different than
some schools passing and graduating students who don't even qualify.

when liberls do associate with the underpriveleged, instead of making
the poor face up to their shortcomings the guiltridden, frightened
liberals just encourage the poor or underrepresented group to blame
mainstream society.  liberals feel good about themselves, the
underrepresented group never looks at itself honestly, and nothing of
substance is done.

this is all the funnier when affirmative action favors rich blacks
over poor whites, and dumb midwest anglo goyim over NY jews in ivy
league schools.
