But you do know that dictionaires are often updated to the current usage of a word? :lol:

This discussion has been about the separation of "W"GLOs and BGLOs---not about the separation of religion, culture, or ethnicity. Thus using diversity in the way it has been used is referring to racial variety. That seems appropriate in this discussion, to me.

Oh and the thing is that many places of employment use the global definition of diversity as a cop-out to avoid hiring African Americans.

ETA: I should have read ahead to tld's post. LOL
