on the rent-a-negro website you can rent a black friend for any social occasion where you may need more clout. this website is hilarious...but scary at the same time. the satirical quotes sound a little too much like ones that i've heard from my friends (and even my own mouth sometimes, i must admit).
you know, i do like think of myself as a fairly diverse person. and i know i am way too judgemental towards folks around here for their segregation. it really is much worse on the east coast, though it depends heavily on the herds you roam in.
but what is diversity really? isn't that the question that is being posed to us by the website? is it just diversifying for the sake of looking good? honestly, being in the environmental world, we play the same game. here, participate in this program because it will make your image much greener.
i know what diversity is not: it is not saying to yourself or others oh i have friends of different races. it is not hiring the wrong person for the job just because they are of one color or the other. it is not name dropping (or pop culture dropping). and it is definitely not in america right now. really, it is a revolution. it is a complete 180 in the thinking of individuals. |
