MO: Teachers Told To Locate Themselves On ‘Oppression Matrix’ During A Diversity Training...

There isn't a need to surmount it. Just a need to operate despite it. And I think we do that already.

Diversity is a negative for society and it is silly to suggest that we need to import diverse brain power to have an intelligent society. I think immigration is a positive thing or I should say legal immigration is a positive thing for a number of reasons. But diversity isn't one of those reasons.

If the best candidate for a position is a minority then so be it. To settle for second best in order to show support for diversity is nuts. Beyond nuts.

 

These traditions are at the root of the problems with diversity in the first place. People want to preserve their traditions and are uncomfortable with seeing them destroyed. That isn't good. I don't view the traditions as limitations. I view them as natural human behavior. As an example why do we Americans recoil at sharia when it is normal for middle easterners? We do so because of those traditions.

We have a diverse society. That isn't ideal but it is what it is. We need to work through it and with it, not try impose the traditions of others on that society. We need to stay professional and focused on our work, recreation and other activities. The same holds true of the minorities. When we interface we need to maintain that professionalism.

I think the Japanese are exemplary in this area. They are among the most racist people on the planet but you wouldn't know it from visiting Japan. Their culture and traditions are to be disciplined and well mannered to a degree you won't find in the U.S. They have learned to deal with diversity effectively. They aren't as diverse as we are to be sure but they could be without having it be as troublesome as it is for us.

I think of diversity as bad but learning to live with it as necessary. No need to promote it or make excuses for it or to try to make it popular. We just need to adapt to it.

 

WWII destroyed much of Japan and they were forced to rebuild. Since then they have been fascinated with whatever is new. I like a lot of things about Japan. Some of it makes a lot of sense. I liked the mirrors at curves in the road. Instead of just being warned about a curve the driver gets to see around it. I liked that car registrations became more expensive as cars aged instead of the opposite thing we see here. It motivated people to buy new cars. That was good not only for Toyota et al but also for the air quality and the overall appearance of the cities. I liked the Shinkansen. I liked the very low crime rates. I loved the yakitori. I liked the efficiency with which they manage their factories.

Yes, some ugliness to be sure but a well oiled culture and a great standard of living. They have done pretty well with their crowded island chain.

 

Who says we have to accept others as a prerequisite to growth? You?

 

It's easier to be disciplined and well mannered to someone who has a buck in their hand.

The ones bringing the "diversity" want us to accept the good AND the bad that they bring. All the while complaining about the bad that they perceive they have come to when they, themselves, are just not adapting to the diverseness that they chose to live with. That is usually the case.

 

I doubt that but I can tell you these things are baked into Japanese culture. They have nothing to do with money.

Diversity goes against human nature so it is bad for society no matter what good or bad it brings. Yes we haven't adapted well to diversity and probably won't since it goes against human nature. That was the point of my post.

 

It is amazing how few people understand how language functions and the effect it has on thought. This is what makes it so easy to manipulate the population.

 

That would mean I gave a rats ass.

 

Oh, you didn't hear?

Liberals are excellent at addressing all of societies issues, they have solutions for everything. Its just not their money or their actions they need to utilize to achieve their utopian ideological goals, its everybody else's. If everybody else would just follow their orders (not their lead of course) we could fix everything!

 

Everybody saying this is fringe and denying liberal take over of the education system:

Not fringe. Absolutely intentional.

 

As someone who had to run diversity training-yeah. I’ve done this in a simpler version. All it does it tell people “hey, you have a lot of things in your life to be thankful for because other people don’t have them”. No different than saying what you’re thankful for on thanksgiving.

 

They're not. I mean my favorite example to use is having a mailbox. There's so much you can't do without someplace to get mail from. You're not wrong about minorities hating that, I hate it when cis people are like "oh we need to protect our trans brothers and sisters" or something like that. But it's still needed. It still does help even a little bit. I just think it's a sign of things to come with the far right becoming more mainstream.

 

So how does this work? 3 points for the left column, 2 points for the middle column, and 1 point for the right column? Add them up and see just how damn oppressive you are?

 

You know strong bonds between people of different races can be made based on the conditions of their hearts. That's why we have interracial marriages and friendships. Racial diversity is only a barrier for those who allow it to be.

 

Far right or far left are not mainstream by definition. What will be interesting in the next 4 years is watching the MSM reconstruct the story and to see how it actually took hold in the next elections.
We're all in this together..........or are we?

 

Yeah no. Far right ideas are becoming more mainstream and it’s very dangerous. Trump has radicalized people, no matter how you look at it. He enabled radicalization under his watch. There is no such thing as MSM it’s just something you came up with and it conveys some meaning to you. It means nothing. That there is an example of what I’m talking about.

 

No, it is human nature. Some can work past it.

 

As I said, the Japanese are more disciplined than we are. I'm with you, though. Japan is certainly charming but I prefer the U.S. big time. I have lived in Latin America and Europe and could make a good life in those areas but I would have a tough time making it in Japan.

 

Wait until the resources run out. Diversity can only be overcome when there is a glut of resources. Any cursory glance at history will tell you what happens when the resources run out... INSTANT TRIBALISM EVERY TIME.

When I see innovation I am not seeing the diversity you speak of. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Linus Torvalds, Bob Kahn, Vint Cerf, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Travis Kalanick, etc.... Innovation does not come from groups of people, it comes from 1 or 2 creative geniuses (basically freaks of nature).

When I look at the states by income equality, it does not escape my notice that states with less income inequality tend to be less diverse. When I look at states by test scores, once again there seems to be a negative link between test scores and diversity. You can look this up yourself. California is now majority Latino. Much more diverse than it was 40 years ago. How has all that diversity helped it?


Diversity is our strength is a propaganda manufactured by globalist billionaires to justify flooding Europe, America and Australia with cheap 3rd world labor. The same people that say diversity is our strength also speak of white privilege (to set the new immigrants against whites and to blame whites for their own lack of success). This will go Lord of Flies or Soviet Russia eventually, the question is if it happens before or after we die.

 

Perhaps the ideas only look far right to you because of where you are viewing them from?
