    You measure diversity through demographics. Demographics is based on age, education level, race, ethnicity, religion, background, etc. We cannot discriminate intentionally on the nature of race, sex, religion, creed, national origin, and a few others, but you still can measure it through demographics.

    Did you actually read and understand what you are reading or did you just copy and paste the link.

    From Wikipedia: "Gabbard has both European and Samoan ancestry, and was raised in a multicultural household.[30][31][32][33] Her mother was born in Indiana and grew up in Michigan." Wikipedia explains she was raised as a member of Science of Identity Formation, which based on their Wikipedia page is a religion based on the teachings of Krishnaite Vaishnava Hinduism.[

    The primary benefit of diversity is being able to live how you want and other people not being allowed to coerce you into assimilating to live how they want.

    You must be joking because the page links to the ethnic Tutsi people, not Tulsi Gabbard.

    How come diversity goes out the window when it comes to calling brown skinned offenders " white supremacist " ?

    But can the results be quantified? How do you know if you are not diverse enough?

    Our founding fathers expected and protected diversity it a cornerstone of our national heritage
    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
    They went on to write a Constitution with a Bill of Rights that protected diversity among people.
    To attack diversity is to ignore our heritage and our values as a nation.

    The benefits are that people are all equal, therefore, there is no reason to strive for anything or have any ambition to improve yourself because we should all be accepted for who we are. After all, all zombies are equal, aren't they? There are no rich zombies, no fat zombies, no ugly zombies, etc. All zombies are just zombies and that's what the left wants society to be, a bunch of mindless zombies with no purpose.

    Demographic statistics internal to the organization and no where else will tell you. HR does this sort of thing with large companies.
    Not really, but you keep missing the point. Even though Tutsi people live in two different countries and have religions ranging from animalistic to Christianity, to Islam and other religions. With a majority being Christian, Christianity has three major sects and dozens of professions, which can influence their life and diversity.

    No you don't understand. How is diversity measured? You can't claim benefits from diversity improvements unless you can show that diversity has improved and benefits improved. in order to do that diversity needs to be measured.

    Is there a standard amount of diversity required?

    I told you how it is measured by the demographics. For companies, large companies that is, the info is all internal for management purposes. Second, I listed 10 benefits of diversity in another post that affect the workplace. I also listed some benefits that diversity affects a nation as a whole. And for benefits, that would depend on the meaures of profitability and productin efficiency, which is also an internal stat in the company, especially large companies. I might add.

    Demographics? By race I assume. How many black guys equate to a Nicaraguan national and where does the American Indian fit in?

    I think 1st you need to state what costs there are? And why there are costs?

    As with most things in life, there's always tradeoffs to most situations and decisions.

    As for diversity, that means people from all walks of life can live, play, and work together. I don't see that as a bad thing.
    It expands one's horizons to new experiences.

    Different cultures, histories, languages, personalities, foods, art and just looking at different people in general.

    That was an easy question.

    Demographics is more than race.

    So can you give an example using measurements. Like before diversity was this but now it is that and benefits were that but now they are this.


    You know, a measurement.

    There are no benefits. In fact diversity goes against human nature and results in conflict. Why does the U.S. have so much crime, violence and conflict? We are the most diverse country on the planet.

    Toronto is an extremely diverse city with much lower crime than the United States.

    Clearly diversity does not equal destruction.

    The world as we understand it has expanded and grown more diverse. I think it’s part of human history and our desire for exploration and seeking answers about our world and universe. Our economic systems have grown more diverse from hunter-gatherer. So many accepts of the modern human experience (economics, trade, technology) are going to bring us into contact with other people and their cultures, religions, and philosophies.

    Studying and understanding human diversity has been beneficial to us. It’s given us medication, mathematics, help us explore the frontier and the arctic.

    The problem with your examples are human extremism. Extremism is dangerous and should be rejected. Rejecting people because they look different or think differently isn’t the solution.
