The Pursuit of 'Diversity' Leads to Racial Discrimination: The state of California is one of the most pluralistic societies in the world. Our people come in all colors, religious beliefs, ethnic backgrounds and other characteristics imaginable. “Diversity” is not just a word in California; it is a reality. I have long felt--and said--that the challenge in California is not to “build diversity” but to manage it so that we are not destroyed by it.
In 1996, the people of California placed into their constitution a ballot initiative that enshrines a policy of non-discrimination and anti-preferential treatment. That initiative was Proposition 209: “The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in public employment, public education or public contracting.”
