is a fundamental pillar in the eradication of racism, xenophobia and intolerance.

I resolutely believe that respect for diversity is a fundamental pillar in the eradication of racism, xenophobia and intolerance. There is no excuse for evading the responsibility of finding the most suitable path toward the elimination of any expression of discrimination against indigenous peoples. Rigoberta Menchu

is, for liberals, easy to promote because they do not have to live with the consequences of immigrants who play loud music at all hours, keep crowing chickens and take over baseball fields to play soccer.

for the people who actually live with the consequences of diversity they see that when their primary school is filled with people for whom the teachers have to spend an enormous and an inordinate amount of time trying to teach them English how to speak English rather than mathematics or your history they realized that's not an advantage when they are living next to people who play mariachis music at 4 am in the morning who keep who keep chickens that crow at am when they want to go and play on the baseball field but they find that it's taken over by Hispanics were playing soccer all of this kind of oil and water said of being invaded by a foreign country people don't like it they don't like it and it's perfectly normal that they not like it and by the way it's not just white you don't like it ask some of the blacks who have left South Central Los Angeles what it's like to be invaded by Hispanics they don't care for it one bit either so we have we have a presidential candidate who's speaking in terms of the undesirability of certain immigrants and their undesirability to speak in those terms implicitly is to say we need immigrants who will fit into the United States and contribute to our country that is on obviously sensible approach to immigration but it's unprecedented

is neither about nurturing local traditions nor about preserving the outward form in which each period has clothed that diversity. Such diversity can never be preserved beyond the period which gave it birth. Diversity is about hearkening for the stirrings of new life, fostering latent potentialities, and being prepared to view without surprise, repugnance or revolt whatever may strike us as strange in the many new forms of social expression.

The need to preserve the diversity of cultures in a world which is threatened by monotony and uniformity has surely not escaped our international institutions. They must also be aware that it is not enough to nurture local traditions and to save the past for a short period longer. It is diversity itself which must be saved, not the outward and visible form in which each period has clothed that diversity, and which can never be preserved beyond the period which gave it birth. We must therefore hearken for the stirrings of new life, foster latent potentialities, and encourage every natural inclination for collaboration which the future history of the world may hold... we must also be prepared to view without surprise, repugnance or revolt whatever may strike us as strange in the many new forms of social expression. (levi-strauss 1952 :49)

is perhaps responsible for a state of disequilibrium necessary for the biological and cultural survival of mankind.

It may be that the emergence of antagonistic political and social systems should, in fact, be regarded as a third solution... conceivably, by a constant shifting of the grounds of diversity, it may be possible to maintain indefinitely, in varying forms which will constantly take men unawares, that state of disequilibrium which is necessary for the biological and cultural survival of mankind. (levi-strauss 1952 : 48)

is representative of a positive kind of accident and chaos.

City diversity represents accident and chaos. Jane Jacobs

is not only about learning to tolerate differences. It is about welcoming them as the richness which can lead to true intelligence.

We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence.

is the adaptation of varieties of language into one another. It is at once a human problem and a human resource.

the adaptation of languages and varieties to one another, and their integration into special roles and complex speech communities' (Hymes 1996: 30) and stresses the importance of understanding how members of speech communities themselves evaluate diversity 'as both a human problem and a human resource' (34).

is the problem of how to combine loyalty to one's own tradition with reverence for different traditions.
