My support for "diversity":
(Before you get too bent upon reading this, don't forget to read the origins below.)
I've heard so much lately about how the end of "Affirmative Action" (Affirmative Discrimination is more like it!) would negatively affect diversity. As many of you know, there is a landmark case before the Supreme Court about racial quotas being applied to college entrants. In addition to cries about diversity being adversely affected if the ruling goes in favor of the students who were academically superior but still denied entrance to their desired school due to their race, I've noticed that colleges that are exceptionally segregated on the other extreme (95%+ black) claim that they have a "diverse" population. Well, this clearly contradicts their arguments before the Supreme Court.
I have taken the liberty to pull down actual census data from the www.census.gov website. If anyone cares to check these statistics, they are from the "SF3 data" pulled for every state according to race. I've downloaded the table and added some analytical insight into the problem of diversity.
Since the goal is to achieve "diversity" to its fullest, we must look at each state's population by race and "level the playing field" for all races. For example, Hawaii has a "white" population of only 24.14%, as compared to the national average of 75.17%. Clearly, there are too many native Hawaiians in Hawaii. Diversity is clearly suffering there, and needs something done about it IMMEDIATELY. I encourage every person who reads this to immediately pick up the a pen, a phone, or a computer and write/call/email every Congressman (and woman) in an effort to fund the immediate Federal relocation of myself and my family to Hawaii. Since this is a governmental mandate, I naturally will allow the Federal Government to pick up all of the expenses. Also, once there, as a recognized minority within Hawaii, the Federal Government has the legal responsibility of providing us with economic assistance to help us transition of the "Pacific Islander" community. Compensation should include:
Here is the data to which I am referring, which proves the need for government-subsidized relocation:

Origins: This study was conducted one day after observing the following activities at Wal-Mart. As we waited to check out, the Mexican couple in front of us, (I don't have anything against Mexican people) who were holding an infant, bought several items at Wal-Mart. They had at least 2 gallons of milk, a dozen eggs, 3 jugs of various juices, infant formula, and other items. This is no way compromised my shopping experience. The fact that they used WIC checks (welfare money funded by taxpayers, like myself) to buy these necessary staples didn't bother me. The fact that clearly they had another child (the aforementioned infant) while on public assistance bothered me, but only slightly. That is irresponsible, and stupid, and selfish. If you can't afford the other two, don't have a third. They just assumed that we like funding their sexual trophies so much that it doesn't matter. It does. Anyway, the part that got my asshole to clench so tightly that diamond formation could have occured was that the remaining item in their cart was a $200 stereo "boom box", which they paid for with cash (big surprise). Now, if you have that much contempt for me and my family that you don't even hide your unabashed and shameless plunder of my wallet, (which is bare these days, thanks to things like "offshore outsourcing") then the LEAST you could do would be to thank me, Mrs. Spoogeworld (without whom I am only a fraction of the man that I am with her), Baby Spooge (whose mouth will not be enjoying the food you buy with my money), and every other shopper in line. If you have cash for a $200 stereo, you don't deserve WIC. So, now you know why I'm so pissed.
Think I'm full of shit? Tell me about it.
