Conservatives (of which I most closely mirror) do not seem to really care about learning about diversity
I think this is a poor generalization, and that it stems from the fact that most "conservatives" really do not see race as a relevant factor. On the other hand that means that we don't quite pay enough attention to the problems that attend this issue.
On another tack, conservatives are not as concerned about male/female equality, because most of us are not bent on denying the essential differences between men and women. We see women and men playing different roles in society, and accept that for the most part. The left demands an unrealistic form of "equality" that erases all difference.

fistful,
You nailed it.
In the light of history, the fact that organizations like thee US military work so well is not because they are multi-ethnic, it's because they've adopted an institutional culture in which ethnicity largely doesn't matter. Rather than emphasizing diversity the way that the left does, differences are subordinated to the common goal. They are true melting pots.
I disagree.
The other problem is that Conservatives (of which I most closely mirror) do not seem to really care about learning about diversity (as opposed to having "Diversity" shoved down our throats).
I'm actually pretty big on diversity, and folks who know me would describe me as Conservative.
