College diversity

A while back, there were reports that the Trump administration was going to fight against colleges that intentionally discriminate on the basis of race. This was widely interpreted as affirmative action. Although I haven't heard any developments on this story lately, I would not be surprised at all if this interpretation proved correct.


Many colleges immediately countered with their own argument. They insisted that students benefit from diversity. There was a serious problem with this argument. Racial diversity is a shallow interpretation of diversity.

The biggest difference between races is appearance. I don't know about you, but I am more than just my looks. Because of this, I outright refuse to be defined by my skin color.

While the schools are patting themselves on their backs for their diversity, they have failed to provide any evidence that they are legitimately diverse. Instead of admitting individuals who are different, they are fixated on admitting individuals who look different.

Look beyond admissions. Who comes out of the colleges? People who know nothing beyond what their professors told them. College graduates have no problems bragging about their mental superiority over those who learn elsewhere, but they are left without the ability to think for themselves. Sure, they are rewarded with opportunities that are frequently stolen from independent learners, but they are all the same mentally incompetent drones.

If colleges love diversity so much, then why is there so little diversity coming out of the colleges? More than likely, it's because they are shallow. Looking diverse is more important than being diverse. Not only that, but defining people by skin color means more to them than defining people by what's underneath the skin.
