I absolutely agree with Glenn Greenwald here. I would further add that there are no homogeneous groupings at all. To suggest otherwise is to start down the slippery slope to identity politics. Even the members of tight-knit families are dramatically different from each other, which can be seen when you take the time to get to known them as individuals.

And why is it that we leave out people from low-earning people without college degrees when we claim the need for “diversity”? I believe that it is because it is perfectly OK to treat low-earning working class people without college degrees as pariahs in modern society–just try to find some of them in featured roles on TV shows and movies. The heroes live in fancy apartments and they wear expensive clothes.

Even one step further, which member of the working class. They are not all the same. If you take the time to get to know people who don’t earn much money this is indisputably clear.

One more for now: what about viewpoint diversity? When we speak of having a “diverse” environment, that is overlooked, often intentionally, I believe, because it blows apart the notion that merely recruiting a “woman of color” into the conversation would be a meaningful way to achieve true diversity.

How many people are there on the planet? Seven billion? There are seven billion types of people on this planet.
