@neonerudite‌ Why is diversity only determined by race, and not, say, social class and other factors? You could have a school filled with 90% Asians. Is that school automatically not diverse? But what about the individual experiences and backgrounds of each student? There are so many countries, cultures, traditions in Asia, even within Asian countries themselves. How are these factors taken into account when you say this school has 90% Asians - it’s not diverse? And my point doesn’t apply to just Asia/Asians of course.
I suppose my main frustration is how “diversity” seems to be mainly determined by race when there are so many other factors that create true diversity (in my view).
