Anyone other than a white guy. Urban Dictionary

Anybody and everybody as long as they are NOT Caucasian. Urban Dictionary

This is the latest empty buzzword popular with lefties and feminists. It means lets get rid of the white guys first. Then we will get rid of the colored ones. We will replace them all with white women and, if any openings are left, with a few colored ones. Urban Dictionary

Diversity=Really rich white folk won't live here. Urban Dictionary

An old, old wooden ship that was used during the civil war era to deliver large supplies of puréed walnuts from the South to the North. The walnuts were used as a replacement for toilet paper, due to the wartime shortage. Despite the volitile relationship between the two countries at the time, the North figured that it was more important to have a clean ass than to place an embargo on the South's nut shipments. The South figured,"Hell, we need the money". Urban Dictionary

A psychosis based on the false impression that we will be a better nation, company, or organization if we accept outside influence or opinions which are culturally or morally different than our own. Gradually turning our backs on everything that makes us unique as a nation. Turning our backs on everything our forefathers fought and died to obtain, secure, and protect. The idea that we need to be as poor as all of the other third world countries in order to fit in as a nation. Urban Dictionary

A bigotted policy that is over-emphasized to an incredibly irritating level. It is also used in the name of tolerance and progress, but it in fact happens to hold certain people down until people of a particular group gets things first. In addition, certain minorities are also left out in so-called "Diversity Week" celebrations, especially those with mental disabilities and Native Americans. Urban Dictionary

A politically correct way to say that a school, area, or environment is mostly black or Hispanic. It doesn't have to be 'diverse' at all, as in Montebello High School which is 97 percent Hispanic, but it is still called 'diverse'. Urban Dictionary

A deathblow to an existing environment Urban Dictionary

The word "diversity” is often a subtle, insidious and racist term used to mask a condescending, self-serving ego trip amongst white people. When a white person says, “I want to move to a neighborhood where there is more diversity” or “I don’t like living in the suburbs. It’s not diverse enough,” one must examine the motivations behind those statements. When considering a place to live one must take numerous factors into account – safety, school quality, home values or rental prices, availability of services, parking, commuting distances, noise levels, etc. If you find a place that meets the above criteria and that neighborhood happens to be diverse – then so be it. NOT moving into that neighborhood because it contains people of differing races and creeds would be racist and intolerant. But making diversity the primary reason for moving into a neighborhood is a racist conceit. In this case the desire for “diversity” is an ego trip for said white person because their conscious or unconscious motivation is “Look at me! I’m so evolved and cool I can live with people of different races and cultures.” This attitude causes the gentrification of ethnic neighborhoods where poorer “diverse” people are forced out because they can no longer afford living there. If white people were to put their money where their mouths were they’d be moving into the Bronx in droves. But they’re not. They might be able to embrace racial differences – just not economic ones.
