Boy, what a mess LA is. I was told diversity was supposed to bring rainbows and unicorns and butterflies of peace and I was supposed to become enriched somehow. I have very much the opposite. I haven't been rip off like that since last contract. Who made this mess and do you think they are going to clean it up?

Reaching across LA's ethnic divide
By David Willis
BBC News, Los Angeles
It is 7am on the sprawling campus of the most notorious US inner-city schools. Pupils are filing into class under the watchful eye not of teachers, but policemen.
Antonio Villaraigosa needs to attract votes from varied ethnic groups
Violent clashes between black and Latino students in recent weeks have left several students seriously injured.
The special guest at a peace rally outside the school is a man many in the US' second-largest city are looking towards to ease its simmering racial tensions.
Antonio Villaraigosa, a former gang member, talks not of segregation but unity. He has gained the support of prominent African-American leaders in his campaign to become Los Angeles' first Latino mayor in more than 130 years and he is believed to be ahead of his competitors.

What alternative to diversity would you suggest? |

Sure,
1)Whites only is better than civil war.
2)Diversity is a bad faith move when you consider Indian treaties.
There won't be any peace in LA due to Latinos' greed and recklessness. The mayoral candidate lies even more than hawkwan owners. Why? He's very likely pro illegal immigrant which means he'll cut plenty of favors for Latinos which means more legitimate racial tension due to corruption. The US never became a non-discriminatory nation regardless of what is publicly spoken. It simply morphed into a country where Latinos get the favors except few people fess up to it. The candidate kept saying "our city" over and over again. He doesn't mean that. He means "our city and every Latino alive". Its race preferential government, that is apartied. You can not expect tension in a situation like that. |

Diversity is weird.
Put me in an elevator with an orange-skinned drunk girl and a middle-aged amateur golfer, and that's a pretty diverse situation for me, and one I'd like to end quickly.
Yet I enjoy reading Asian and Hypenated-American literature, which ranks as "diverse" in college curricula (sp?) (Yet what we call Chinese or Korean isn't the minority in China or Korea)
The typical signifiers of diversity are what rub me the wrong way.
Race, gender, ethnicity . . . all can be manipulated to serve self-interest (even by those who seem the most powerless in "dominant" contexts.) |
