Why is it that the majority of people are so afraid of diversity? what is it aobut being different that makes people threatened?? Isn’t that why we wear make up or do our hair is to stand out and be noticed? Why are we afraid of what we dont understand?

People fear the unknown and have always been suspicious of outsiders. Also, many minorities like Jews, Blacks & Irish have been mistreated or discriminated against big time. Also, it’s easier to relate to someone you have more in common with. I enjoy things exotic and new experiences, but was mugged several years ago by a young black guy and it was a devastating experience. I was petrified. Still hard not to be afraid of black guys, though not black women. Just Curious

Diversity used to mean the freedom to practice your own culture in the privacy of your own home without harassment. Now it has come to mean the chance to “get even” with those you perceive to represent the traditional power structure (i.e. white, Anglophone Protestants). People get freaked because some minority groups spew some pretty violent rhetoric.
