How do you define diversity?

Asked by JLeslie (65448points) August 8th, 2018 from iPhone

Please let us know what country you live in.

Do people have to look different to have diversity? Are all white Europeans one group? All Latin Americans another group? All Asians? If an American town is 20% British, 20% German, 20% Dutch, 20% Irish, 20% Polish, is that not diverse at all? What if it’s 20% Korean, 20% Vietnamese, 20% Taiwanese, 20% Chinese, and Japanese?

Do you feel a city that is 50% one group and 50% another group is diverse? Or, does it need to have a multiplicity of different groups in significant numbers?

How high of a percentage do you need the population to be “different” for you to feel an area is diverse? Is 10% enough to call a country diverse? A city?
