I think there's a big difference between recognizing racial and ethnic identities and going to war or committing genocide because of them.

28StGreek's posts are illustrations of what some of us are talking about. Are people seriously pretending as though you can have any type of GLO diversity if there are GLO members who believe acknowledging and celebrating group identities is synonymous with wars? Celebrating our similarities and differences is terrifying?

GLO members who need to (figuratively) take an Introduction to Social Dynamics course have no business pushing for racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity in their GLOs. I recommend (figuratively) taking the course first. I recommend observing the societal and world (this isn't just about the U.S.) environment in regards to race, ethnicity, and culture. After you do that, then act like you know something about racial and ethnic diversity and then push for racial and ethnic diversity in your GLOs.

Ignoring and avoiding those first steps is what makes this all about quick and easy fixes and tokenism.
