Would you call any Big East basketball program that identified itself as White or Black diverse?

How did they identify themselves as "black?"  (Casual Hoya is a fan site like Cracked Sidewalks)

And anyway, per usual, you are only using race as a definition of "diverse"  My definition wasn't limited to race.

Please don't go a round stating the league values diversity when obviously some do not; in fact they state the opposite.

...and by all means if you want to start a GO Fund Me on my behalf I'll gladly take your money.

*They* aren’t stating anything. Pay attention.

And you are the only one here defining diversity by race. Again. Like always.

And you did so after you asked me to define diversity and I provided a definition that wasn’t just race.

...but the definition implies an emphasis especially on race.

That’s your bias. So that’s a you problem.

The definition you asked me to provide was not just about race.

If I was fragile I wouldn't be debating you guys. Please explain to me how an all White team is diverse if race is not the only consideration?

If you are merely hoping to be educated, why are you so emotional about it?

Political thought, disability status, age, sexuality, urban/suburban/rural hometown, ethnicity, Do you need any more examples?

So an all White Big East basketball program with individuals that possessed some or all those attributes would be one to claim they value diversity.

Yes just not racial diversity. Have you never applied for a job? They ask you all sorts of "are you a veteran? Are you disabled? What is your sexual orientation? What gender do you identify as?" Because these also qualify as diversity hires. Most people use the word diversity as shorthand for racial diversity, that doesn't make the word specific to race.

We already have that.

Thank you, so you don't have to be racially diverse to be diverse, but diverse is code for race.

How tall is Shaka and what are the heights of the coaches in the BEast?  Remember, we will never truly be free until our  diminutive citizens are afforded the same comforts and opportunities.  :)

That is a Bog-ues argument.

Define diversity.

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

Excuse me Tower but have you ever had to jump 30 inches to take a piss at a public urinal?  Little people have rights and are often discriminated against.  Those that are under 4 feet in particular have many hardships as do those that are over 7'5.   And we have a sizable dwarf or little people population in the world.  Not to mention that 80% of this super small population has normal genetic parents.  You have no reason to disparage the diminutive people and should donate to the Little People of America.

...and hope Gates is not hired by DePaul. He just might outshine Shaka with all the praises he was getting here on scoop. Then again a competitive Depaul/MU rivalry would be fantastic for the league.

We've been competitive with DePaul. Just not in the ways we like.
