The Unintended Consequences of Diversity Statements

[dimsum]

Is it, or is it being a sore loser that can't face the people they assumed the worst about because they disagreed on politics?

Throwing away family because you don't agree on politics is a pretty smooth brain decision.

To be honest - if they’re disagreeing that vehemently on politics, it’s not the only thing they’re disagreeing on. I’m guessing that the ones cutting the GOP-supporting family off aren’t saying “uncle so-and-so is an angel, except for his voting habits”.

My guess is the context behind those habits, and (especially in the US) everyone being so vocal about their team. Maybe they vehemently disagree on LBGTQ rights, or abortion, or whatever.

And now, rather than grinning and bearing it for the sake of “making nice”, they find that they don’t have to anymore. So the options are shouting matches at the Thanksgiving dinner table, or cutting them off.

Both get the same point across but one involves more pokey-chest.

Thats a great way to ensure the conservatives out breed you...

That’s how Idiocracy started, right?
