Another Point of View (On Diversity)

Fantastic writeup. Of course, it would be easy for me to put on the hat of the university indoctrinated and unpack your "invisible knapsack" of privileges that you never knew that you had; maybe someone else will save me the trouble (and do so earnestly, because that's much more fun to read).

Ahh, but there is an explanation; there are textbooks, courses, entire bodies of knowledge specifically created to define exactly why it is that you don't deserve anything that you've worked for, and further, why you should be compelled by force to give it away to those who have not earned it and may not even want it, to their detriment and yours.
