    Younger people seem to be much better connected with diverse peers than the older generation does, thankfully.
    You just repeat stuff you read in he Guardian don't you?

    WTF is a "diverse peer"?

    How come black and brown people are "diverse" but white people aren't?

    You mangle the language.

    You're presuming 'younger people' are white. Some younger people are BAME. They can have a white friend who also counts as diverse, just like it would the other way around. He didn't say BAME are the diverse peers, although they can be.

    That's not what he meant though.

    Brown skin, brown eyes, black hair = diverse.
    White skin, blond/ brown/ red/ black hair, blue/ green/ brown/ grey/ hazel eyes = not diverse.

    As I said, you mangle the language.

    If you're black is another black person diverse? No. Is a white person? Yes.

    If you're white is another white person diverse? No. Is a black person? Yes.

    No mangled language. Simple language for a simple distinction.

    The brainwashing runs deep in some GF. They've had it through school and for some of them in University or college.

    add to that the slow drip, drip, drip via tv and media and they are preprogrammed to think in a certain way.

    They lose the ability to step back and think "just a minute, what's happening here"

    Programmed to think that being black is not an issue? Radical stuff.
