I believe that diversity is an awesome concept/theory. Additionally‚ I believe that “true diversity” is something America will never achieve. There are some organizations and institutions that have zero tolerance for non-diversified environments and have successfully achieved that goal (to an extent); but overall as a nation; I personally believe our culture‚ mindset and practical origins prevent actual implication in a variety of instances.
