Diversity is in some measure how a culture or society recognizes the elements of similarities and differences among ethnic groups and determines how to best use, for the benefit of all, the contributions made possible by those differences and similarities. The difficulty in that statement is getting people to overcome prejudices and preconceived notions about other ethnic groups and cultures. What is wonderful about studying diversity, as you seem to be attempting to do, is that we discover that almost all people the world over are far more similar than different. That includes family life, religion, personality and many other facets. One way to incorporate diversity into everyday activities is to lo key it and just show all the students doing what all the students do. In those pictures you will find the same emotional reactions on the faces of students no matter what their ethnicity. School is THE place for young people to learn about the other 6 billion people on this planet and to learn to embrace that diversity as an essential part of improving the world as we know it. You could also have a Diversity Day and challenge students of various ethnic or nationalities, exchange students as well, to put on displays about their native culture. That makes great yearbook material.

We all have blind spots and to err is human. Earlier today I assumed a particular poster was male based on what was said. Turns out, the poster was female. And later today while posting an answer to another question I presented what I believe to be a picture of a healthy intimate relationship. Only after I wrote the description did I realize that I had defined it as being between a man and woman. Ethically, I believe that same sex relationships are also legitimate relationships and therefore felt the need to go back and amend my definition. The above wasn’t due to any sort of bias, but due to a cognitive shortcut.. Most relationships are male-female, so it’s from this frame of reference that most of us think of them.

I have to admit, I sometimes use words or express concepts, that trans people find insulting. These are honest mistakes, born out of ignorance, and I apologise as soon as it’s pointed out to me by my partner, or her friends. It really makes me angry when people do the same thing deliberately, to provoke a reaction, and when challenged claim it’s just a joke and accuse the person they’re insulting of being “politically correct” or “too sensitive”. One of my partner’s favourite authors (and mine, now, too) wrote a poem about this very subject; I’d like to share it with you. Sorry, It’s quite long. “Calling a spade a spade You don’t care if you ruffle a few feathers Because you have the guts to tell it like it is You are bold and brash And so cutting edge And you proudly call yourself “politically incorrect” And the rest of us are indebted to you For the tough stance you take on free speech reminding us that the first amendment was invented to protect your right to tell the joke about the midget, the f*g and the Jew who all walk into a bar and thank you for bringing to our attention the plague of PC euphemisms that are infecting our language creating inefficiencies in good old plain simple English because you’re right crippled is so much easier to say than differently-abled and why should you feel guilty about calling someone black when African-American has seven syllables although come to think about it “politically incorrect” has eight So maybe we should investigate why you choose to hide behind that euphemism since politically incorrect is such an unwieldy phrase and you’re so into calling a spade a spade then why don’t I simply call you a bigot or would you take offense at that? don’t tell me that you’re just a bully Who can dish it out but can’t take it? I know how badly you want to blame the rest of us Complaining that it’s we who are too easily offended But that’s b*llsh*t I couldn’t give a f*ck about profanity And I love to laugh at subversive satire and blasphemy but when you make jokes about other people simply because they’re different from you you don’t seem funny to me you just seem insecure about your own place in the pecking order and could it be a coincidence that practically every person I’ve met who calls themselves politically incorrect also happens to be a straight white male and I know you feel like the whole world is ganging up on you and nobody understands how difficult it is for you to be the occasional victim of male-bashing and reverse racism …smallest violin in the world, dude Since you’re so into calling a spade a spade then I am going to call your bluff because I am a lesbian transsexual which means that for most of my life people saw me as a straight, white male and you know something? it was pretty f*cking easy wearing those shoes sorry to burst your bubble but I actually liked being able to walk down a city street without having strangers shout out sexual innuendoes and insults at me I miss having men take me seriously I miss kissing and holding hands With my wife in public for fear of being harassed or possibly even being beaten to death and being white well I haven’t had to deal with much racial discrimination in my life but at least I’m honest enough to recognise that as a privilege so if you were really into calling a spade a spade then you would stop calling yourself politically incorrect because calling other people names is as politically mainstream as it gets why don’t you stop kicking the people who are already down and take on the system for a change call out the idiots who call equality “special rights” who call it the race card only when it’s played on someone who’s white who call upper class tax hikes class warfare because you’re right there aren’t enough people telling it like it is but until you start owning up to your own privileges you’re not being politically incorrect you’re just being a hypocrite.
