"The plain fact is that the richness and unpredictability of genuine human diversity cannot be encompassed by a few caricatures, even if they are very well intentioned." -Richard Bernstein, 1994

"Valuing Diversity imagines a world of diversity in which, paradoxically, everybody will have more or less the same ideas, the same philosophy, the same vaguely liberal political convictions, the same notions of the equality of all peoples, all sexes, and all sexual practices..."
"In their attempt to open our minds to that great world of difference that they know exists out there, they unintentionally reaffirm their own attachment to values and practices that originated in the West."
"Hiding behind the innocuous, entirely praiseworthy goal of eliminating prejudice from the human heart lies a certain ideology, a control of language, a vision of America that, presented as consensual common sense, is highly debatable."
"The biggest objection to diversity training is not even its content, but the fact that it exists at all, adding yet another coating of mandatory sanctimony to a society that already has trouble talking about things frankly and honestly." 💎
