the ramblings of a chronic over thinker

diversity means what exactly?

this is cool

here’s an internet definition from the oxford dictionary:
di·ver·si·ty

/dəˈvərsədē,dīˈvərsədē/

noun

1. 1.

   the state of being diverse; variety.

   "there was considerable diversity in the style of the reports"

2. 2.

   the practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc.

   "equality and diversity should be supported for their own sake"

so much diversity in these colours

some of you know that february, in north america, is black history month. the goal is to bring awareness and celebrate the beauty of being black. the month is commemorated to enlighten others to the accomplishments and designations black people have garnered throughout history. cool? of course!

but, dear reader, do you like all these calendar reminders of how ‘different’ we all are? does it help you in any way? will there be a test? will knowing this information make me a better person? what about the rest of the year? is there an awareness month for every race or grouping? how does that work? i welcome all suggestions even though i know that there can’t be a month dedicated to EVERY ASPECT of our lives, right? right?!

so many questions rambling around…
