Diversty

Yeah, that's right.

A blog on diversity.

To all of my fellow TCC Students, I'm sorry if this seems absurd to you, but I think it's worth checking this out.

To continue, I want to apologize to anyone who may start to be offended by this blog. Please read it all the way through before you have a problem with it. Then, please feel encouraged to comment/contact me if you still would like to discuss it.

For those of you who don't know, diversity is a hot topic on my college campus. The higher-ups, teachers, spiritual leaders, and student clubs all love the idea of diversity.

That being said, it has become an odd feeling of fakeness. Diversity is so encouraged that it almost feels forced and unnatural. I fear that it turns some students off to the idea, including myself.

That being said, I can honestly say that I have experienced a truely diverse setting, and it is pheonomenal. Honestly.

Out here in Phoenix, there are Hispanic people. Black people. Barundi people. White people. Vietnamese people. And they all come together under one church building.

It's so amazing to see what God had intended for us when He called us to come together as one body. It's so awesome to see the continued communication and worship despite cultural differences.

But it's close to bed time, and I just found out I am probably going to get swine flu soon. Awesome....

  1. One thing to acknowledge regarding TCC is that I don't think that they are actually looking for "Diversity"...
    I say this because diversity is not limited to "ethnic diversity" but includes many other aspects...
    From my angle it appears that TCC's diversity is all about having people of varying skin pigment come together to then, with the careful guidance of our faculty, become identical... We're interested in ethnic diversity (which I think is important, but is only one part...), but that's about it...

    Brian you know I could go on... but I'll spare you...

  2. Yes....

    The main point of this blog that I was trying to get across is that I experienced a very diverse setting, and it was really cool
