Is it that people have grown somewhat intolerant to diversity nowadays, despite we're fighting for the rights of all and of all differences

I experienced a lot of intolerance and bigotry in my childhood and the early part of my career. There is more awareness in society of the benefits of diversity and the costs of prejudice and social injustice. Unfortunately there is a very loud man in charge of the USA right now who finds it politically expedient to exploit racism, sexism, religious hatred and xenophobia which were lying just below the surface. It is hopefully just a passing phase, but one we could all do without.

"despite we're fighting for the rights of all and of all differences"


The states have put trans people in the same category as pedos. And gay people are practiically in the same category aswell, just not officially.

How is that fighting for the rights of all?


I'm Norwegian, born, raised, and living in Norway, and anyone within the LGBTQ+ community is scared now because the states has contaminated the Norwegian people with their hate.

We even have flat earthers,anti vaxxers,and religious prosecution of non-religious people because of murica.


Again: How are people fighting for the rights of all differences?

I don't mind diversity but people don’t have a right to exploit others and commit crimes because of race. That’s just wrong and evil but they use it as a cover for their crimes.. pulling the race card

People have always been intolerant here. There has been legal systemic racism in the United States since its inception.

The mid to late 20th century had been mostly devoted to trying to right those wrongs, but slowly, and 50 years was hardly enough time to address close to 300 years of grievances.

But those who were used to privilege began to see attempts to establish equity as their oppression and longed for a return to days with a caste system.

The election of a black president, who was well-liked by both many here and many of our allies also brought those people out of the shadows with the Tea Party (precursor to MAGA and Donald Trump).

Trump used that simmering racism to gain power and made people comfortable expressing those attitudes openly again.

We were not asked to celebrate diversity. We were told to celebrate diversity, except for diversity of thought. That’s not allowed.

I think the pendulum is swinging in that direction again.. And ignorance is the root cause...

Diversity is hardly an intrinsic good. People everywhere feel more comfortable with people like themselves

Ignorance is dangerous.
In itself, it's not evil, but wilful ignorance is the Road to Folly.

We are not intolerant to diversity itself, we are intolerant of unqualified people getting positions of power and responsibility over those who have worked hard and studied for those positions. Case in point, the recent Los Angeles fires that nearly got out of control because the fire chief was a DEI hire, she clusterfucked everything to where the hydrants had no water.
