Jason made sense. Connie asked good questions. But . . . both slipped into the use of "diversity" to mean POC. That really isn't what "diversity" is except for a workaround to saying non-white. I can understand the misuse of that word by pundits grappling for a word instead of "minorities," but Connie and Jason ought to purge that from their conversation. Diversity is about heterogeneity; once that's gone, no more diversity. Perhaps I'm being picayune but, IMO, the rhetoric of diversity should stick with the original dictionary definition.
