Take a look at this interactive blog post on diversity if you care to. I absolutely loved this, I hope others here will too. What a fascinating commentary on how segregation occurs, and some reasons why it's still around even in spite of us saying that we're okay with multiculturalism.

Here's to shaping our world based on rejecting the status quo, and acting to bring about the change.

    It was my understanding that there would be no math in this portion of the boards. :D

    What a fun and educational interactive website! I completely agree with bringing on more diversity and rejecting conformity. I am tired of drone-like conformist attitudes and behavior.

    Which is interesting about the cop threads. It's the conforming thing to do to trust police forces, it is what we are supposed to do and police are supposed to have the utmost levels of our respect since they are looking out for our greatest good and protect us all from the bad guys. So all Hell breaks out when these status quo attitudes are proven to not be accurate. An interesting psych and sociology lesson.
