You are more than welcome to criticize my grammatical errors and poor sentence structure, as I am the first one to admit to that. However, an argument such as “there is only wrong and right in the world,” is offensive beyond belief. In my view of diversity, we foster different opinions and beliefs. That's a HUGE component of diversity. I hear your argument that classifying based on race causes racism, and I could easily agree. But, one could also argue that classifying based on race brings in a greater discussion of ethnicity and culture and backgrounds. Some people are proud of their heritage.

I think you read my argument too fast and didn't catch my point. The author was dissecting the unity commission by “labeled” diversity, such as gender and race. I DO NOT think that the Unity Commission should be analyzed by those measures, but it's a lot easier to point out the simple mistakes, like how the author omitted a chunk of the commission, he didn't take any other “social” labels into consideration, and he's labeling somebody hispanic that isn't even from that region when trying to prove HIS argument. I could easily argue that the Unity Commission is diverse, because they all offer diverse opinions and beliefs. They come from all different walks of life, bringing forth different experiences, but I would have to write a novel to prove this. I'm pointing out the false claims represented in the blog post. I'm trying really hard not to state my opinion, but only prevent half-truths from being spread. He made a poor argument, as I was merely pointing it out in my statements.

I understand your argument about race and I am actually really interested in it. I don't completely disagree by any means. You find me using the word “race” as offensive, and i find you not open to new ideas and dialogue offensive. You “seek to destroy what I maintain”? You think there is only “right and wrong in the world.” I may use the word “race,” but clearly I think you can benefit from a lesson on diversity. I may publicly argue and state my opinion through VisLupi, this, Sagebrush, etc, but I don't close my mind and think I'm the “right” and everything else is the “wrong” in society.

I can, now, understand why somebody might be offended by my feeding into the system that classifies, but you're doing the same. You're classifying “those who are right” and “those who are wrong.” I've made mistakes. I've been proven wrong. I've been passive aggressive. I make grammatical/sentence structure errors. I can admit all of these things and still have an open heart and mind. My worry is that you can't.
