Diversity does NOT restrict itself to race only, so saying that even a 100 member chapter is not diverse strictly because the race "breakdown" may not be 50/50, would be untrue.


(And for the record, as if I'm not careful enough to be as specific as possible already, I'm not referring to ANY chapter/school, I'm only referring to UK.)

I would argue differently. I don't necessarily believe the portions should be equal but I do think there should be a plethora (trying not to use the word diverse! )of choices.

And you hit the nail on the head when you talked about an argument of definition. The worst thing about diversity is that no one can clearly define. We could go and consult good 'ol Webster...but I think even he may be a little biased!
