You're confusing cultural diversity and racial diversity. Two completely different things.
Too broad a term? It literally means "diversity of race", is it truly too broad to debate or is it just that you're too close-minded to debate it?
This thread was made for the purpose of debating whether racial diversity is a good thing and if it serves any real purpose - this applies to every place/thing which requires and/or wants racial diversity (e.g. the workplace). No need for another thread.
Okay. Name 5.
What are you questioning about the first statement?
I know the difference between the two. However, they are often interlinked and that is one aspect that I had in mind.
Of course the "diversity of race" is broad in regards to a debate topic. In what context out of the many globally did you want to debate racial diversity? Do you want to talk about it historically? Do you want to discuss it's effects on the workplace? Or socially? Or in politics? Do you think this affects education in both curriculum and in the social environment of a school? Do you think people place different values on racial diversity depending on the country or region that they live in? No need to answer these - They are just thoughts.
Personally, I feel like I could talk for days about this. I don't understand where you get "close-minded" from. I don't really want to debate something when there's so many ways to look at it, it's not as interesting and people usually go off-topic. I am also the type of person who will always try to look at things from both sides.
My personal feelings about racial diversity are driven by my experiences surrounding it in all the different areas I've lived. Most of these experiences have left a positive impact on my life. This, of course, will not be the case for everybody.
What I was trying to say in my post is that I would be more interested in debating a more specific topic. Since you've already made this one, obviously I'm not expecting you to now go make more. I mentioned it as an idea for the next member who wants to post a debate topic. I find that debate threads on this forum can get tedious.

@Kernel Sanders don't take this retard seriously, almost everything he posts is bait.

I guess cultural diversity would be a better term in that a workplace where ideas are exchanged and challenged, a more diverse cultural background and upbringing will bring a wider variety of interesting ideas and possibly reach a broader set of people. It's difficult to improvise and improve concepts when everyone is so similar in taste/experiences/tendencies.
Believe me, I support cultural diversity as well, but racial diversity and cultural diversity are not the same thing.
Okay. Wasn't sure if this was the kind of thing where both is implied since racial diversity and cultural diversity will sometimes imply the other. I'll be on my way.
I was of a similar mind as they can come hand in hand. But at least we know now that wasn't the goal of this thread.
