And if this is so offensive, why are you using a throwaway? I'll reply anyway for people to read (because I know you will read anyway, from your safe space, lol)
Notice I didn't say I am against diversity. Diversity is good, even I'd rather see Samba performed by Brazilian than Japanese Brazilians in the streets of Tokyo. Also diversity can mean a lot of things, not just race, but economy as well, actually this was more in line with what in my mind, because of my upbringing in Asia where racial diversity is miniscule but mostly socio-economic diversity.
Priorities, that's the word here. Can I work 80hrs a week? Sure, but my family and mental health takes priority. Do I want diversity? Of course, but harmony takes priority. When I send my kids to school, I want them to be educated in an educative environment, and nothing else. I don't want them to do bad stuffs, I don't want them to skip class. I don't want to go home after work noticing my kids are not getting the education that they get but something else.
Simple.
EDIT: I guess you mistaken the race/culture into a thing where you assume I think race/culture are closely associated to economic performance? Lol you are mistaken, but I see why you would assume that based on my grammar?
What I meant was, as Asian (this is the race/culture that I meant), we inclined to think in harmony first, because in our culture, harmony is more important. Do you get it? If not, I don't know how to properly explain it, English is not my first language, sorry.
There are many reasons someone may wish to remain anonymous on the internet. Sorry if my anonymity triggers you.
I didn't say you were against diversity, I said you created an inverse relationship between diversity and harmony. You could have had that whole discussion about optimizing for harmony without discussing diversity at all (there are many things that might affect your harmony including curriculum changes or standardized testing). The fact that you placed diversity in opposition to harmony is why I said what I said.
Perhaps it's just the fact that you're not a native english speaker, but the fact that you're now making assumptions about economics (who said anything about that?) and brought up diversity in the context of a comment about "undesirables" affecting your kids lead me to believe that you just don't like diversity.
Oh yes, as if just using a random account, not being labelled "throwaway" is not anonymous enough :) There are many reasons, of course, one of them is trolling without having to get the repercussions of having your background inspected for inconsistencies in your belief while teaching people on how they should be :)
Alright anonymous stranger with throwaway account who are so wise in the ways of diversity, can you help me, a gullible peasant to like more diversity, according to your definition of liking diversity? Or is it better for me to go back to my country? Or my country has too much diversity maybe I should go back to my city? Or maybe even that is too much diversity I should just go back to my family? That's also too much, maybe I should just be in my own room with myself.
