The Challenges of Diversity

The challenge for me, with language and sensitivity for diversity, is that it sometimes fails to swings both ways. Particularly aggravating is when there is double standard. Certain cultures find it perfectly acceptable to use certain words or play into stereotypes about their culture that are unacceptable for the rest of society. Secondly, people forget diversity refers to all walks of life. People believe they are the underappreciated culture; therefore, respect for diversity should cater to them. Diversity is equal appreciation of all people. We must all be held to the same standards in respecting diversity.
