I once heard on a movie's commentary track, I think it was, a person say that he felt more comfortable or more at home on that particular movie set because everyone looked like him, same coloring, etc.
I have to admit that while I hear the words and understand that he's probably not the only one who feels that way, I do not experience that at all -- quite the reverse. While I grew up in an extremely white, rural setting, ever since I went to college and met people of many different colors and faiths, I have felt more comfortable when surrounded by diversity. This isn't something I remember being taught and I don't know where it came from, but it puzzles me exceedingly when others don't feel the same.

I saw a FB post decrying the lack of diversity in our food produce (seed variants) compared to 1908 and they put it very well. They said that when there is little diversity, we cut down on potential mutations and evolution. I think the same could be said for diversity of people. When we meet people who are different from us, new ideas and new combinations are possible where in a monoculture they are not.

Lack of diversity wigs me out.

Diversity is what made this country great. To suggest that someone or some group is inferior because they are 'not like us' is to deny them the dignity that we all deserve under this countrys laws. BTW,the picture you posted has already hit my facebook page three times so I am guessing this is hitting a nerve with the right people.
