Diversity demands not just tolerance, but respect, and that can only flourish in the absence of intolerance. That includes not accepting the false equivalence that diversity efforts are somehow part of the same problem we seek to combat. \r\n\r\nTaking just racism as an example,  [one explanation] (http://racerelations.about.com/od/understandingrac1/a/DoesReverseRacismExist_2.htm) puts it this way: \r\n\r\n> Does reverse racism exist? Not according to the antiracist definition of racism. This definition includes institutional power and not just the prejudices of a lone individual. As institutions which have historically benefited whites attempt to diversify, however, they sometimes favor ethnic minorities over whites. Their purpose in doing so is to right the wrongs of the past and the present against minority groups.\r\n\r\nOf course, I would be amiss if I did not point out Time Wise's [excellent essay](http://www.raceandhistory.com/selfnews/viewnews.cgi?newsid1024893033,80611,.shtml) on this, which should be read in full. \r\n\r\nThis same argument is extensible to the remaining reverse-isms. \r\n\r\nAll that said, I see no reason why those curious to explore the topic (e.g., they're wading into the discussion around the topic for the first time) should be discouraged from constructive dialogue. Those who are honestly curious should be engaged in meaningful discussion over why this issue worries us. Those who seek to undermine us as a community should reform or be shown the door.\r\n\r\n"}}
