The Diversity Flaw

Liberals do not care for intellectual diversity

The case for diversity has supposedly been championed on by the left, and this has allegedly been about race, religion, gender and sexual orientation. Diversity is something that we hear about all the time, and it is an issue that is incredibly sensitive to certain individuals. I would like to shed light on some of the logical inconsistencies spurred by what I call the “diversity flaw.”

The diversity flaw attempts to compensate for past mistakes by making a reversal of policies that inherently hurts the country. For example, It has become expected for organizations to hire a diverse range of employees in order to appear to “diverse” and “meet a certain quota.” The very idea of a quota system simply does not provide association to the idea of equal opportunity. I have written in the past about the case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke and how affirmative action is simply discriminatory. It does not make sense for unqualified individuals to get positions solely because they are a “minority.”

Well, since the left has become so race conscious, they have essentially infused the culture and system with a single unitary mindset that is expected of “minority races.”

For example, African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics are expected to be liberal, vote Democrat and support “equal opportunity,” because, why wouldn’t they? African Americans and Hispanics who break from this unitary mindset and support the conservative or libertarian cause are labeled as Uncle Tom or Uncle Juan. Isn’t this a form of slavery that is perpetuated by the left on minorities, and constantly brainwashing them into thinking that liberals are the ones who are for them? This method has worked so well that, minority groups have started brainwashing themselves into thinking so and essentially continuing on the cycle of intellectual slavery.

A recent crowning of the new Miss USA sheds a little bit of light on the idea of intellectual slavery.

Kara McCullough, who is a physical scientist at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, won the Miss USA crown, and she stated that she believed that she was privileged to have healthcare because she had a job. She also stated that she was against man hating and wanted to “transpose feminism into equalism.” These remarks are not necessarily conservative or even anti-feminist; it simply is a variation of opinion, but it caused a firestorm among liberals and feminists who started bashing her on social media for having a little variation in her opinion.

This event essentially proves my point that liberals do not care about intellectual diversity.

If this continues, the left will gradually lose support from minority groups, and this has already been prevalent, especially during the Trump campaign. I have personally known individuals who have switched sides because of the problem with the lack of intellectual diversity from the other side. Republicans and conservatives do not need to focus on racial diversity in order to obtain diversity, we just stick true to our message. The Texas Federation of College Republicans is an example of this. We have the most diverse board in the country and we have our first African American chairman. I am proud to be part of a movement that embraces not just racial diversity but also intellectual diversity.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
