If racism is so bad, why is diversity so good?

Progressives profess contradictory views about racism and diversity. On the one hand, they contend that whites are pervasively though often unconsciously prejudiced... On the other hand, they contend that diversity is one of humanity’s great goods...

But if whites are almost irremediably racist, and if their racism stifles and traumatizes blacks (and other “people of color”), why would diversity be a strength? Why would it not be wiser for blacks to avoid whites and to create their own communities as free from the baneful influence of anti-black racism as possible?...

The claim that racism is pervasive, stubborn, and stultifying is not new. People on the left, in the center, and even on the right have forwarded it to explain a variety of black ailments and dysfunctions, from high crime rates and fatherless homes to low grades and test scores. But the claim has become more popular and more integral to mainstream political narratives since the rise of racial progressivism (also called “wokism”)...

Only white people can be racist because only white people have the power to oppress...

And of course after the death of George Floyd, the narrative that ubiquitous racism engenders disproportionate outcomes in the criminal justice system became so conventional that it was endorsed and promoted by prestigious corporations, many of whom proudly (or, perhaps, cynically) advertised the Black Lives Matter banner...

The theme, the meaning, the raison d'être of racial progressivism is that white people are responsible for the failures and dysfunctions of black people...

Diversity is a rhetorical sleight of hand which ultimately means "fewer white people in positions of power and prestige."... Diversity is not about diversity; rather, it is about redistributing resources from white people (and Asians) to black and brown people...

The trouble with diversity is... it's divisive!
