The reason for this post is connected to a comment that was made by trainee diversity officer on the thread ‘Herefordshire’s Useful Idiot – Neville Meredith.
The commentator Kay Woolf said in a comment on the above post that she was training to be a diversity officer and that I was a bigot for criticising Islam and that diversity should be ‘enforced.’
What was interesting is the almost Stalinist dedication to the cause of diversity and how she saw no moral problem with forcing people to accept diversity even if they do not want it and could find reasonable, factual, historical cultural and non racist reasons why the sort of forcible cultural diversification is unwise and possibly dangerous (especially when one of those things that the diversity industry is promoting is the fascistic philosophy of Islam*).
This for me gives an inkling into what is in the souls of some of the people who go into this sort of area of employment. Not for them the slow and often difficult process of learning about the humanity of the different person, not for them the period of sometimes gauche and awkward questions between individuals who belong to different racial and religious groups which are a painful but necessary part of learning about each other, and not for them the assimilation so necessary for immigrants to both accept and be accepted by the host society.
For people like the poster Kay Woolf or Neville Meredith these things don’t fit. For them diversity is something to be imposed with penalties for those who speak out against the imposition of diversity, or screaming ‘racist’ and ‘bigot’ at those who want to prevent their towns and cities turning into another Rochdale or Luton or Tower Hamlets.
It saddens me that someone who is training to work in the field of diversity has no awareness that diversity of opinion is a vital part of a free society. However, I don’t think people like that are interested in a free society only in making society look like what they have been told it should look like by their tutors. Schooled in an education system where knowledge and discernment has been devalued they go on to further education where there is again a culture of not challenging the status quo of multiculturalism.
It saddens me to see a person who probably has gone into this field for all the right reasons behaving like a minor political officer in a Soviet factory.
I wonder how many similar people are ensconced in various diversity non jobs in councils up and down the country.
Probably too many.
Those of us who marched against the genuine racism of the National Front for example look at what the movement we belonged to has turned into and shake our heads in despair. We marched for equal treatment not ghettoization, a melting pot not a mosaic.
Maybe when this lady gets out into the real world she will repent as I have done of backing the diversity horse.
I’ll leave you with some humour, bearing in mind that a diversity qualification isn’t exactly the height of utility and employability and with the UK facing a dire necessity to trim the size of the state in a few years time, I’ll probably be asking Ms Woolf ‘can I have fries with that?’
*If you object to this phrase then a brief look at the actions of the Islamic Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the Nazi period would be extremely instructive for you.

Good post and interesting to see at this particular time. Having been in the process of being removed from Incapacity Benefits I was placed in the Work Related Activity Group where I felt compelled to go on a course for ‘Personal Development and Employability’. As part of the course we had to gain a certificate in Disability Equality and a certificate in Equality and Diversity, as well as having the mantras of equality and diversity repeated to us at every opportunity.
I can’t help thinking that an unintended consequence of Bulldozing the lazy and feckless back to work is that along the way an army of ‘Diversity Droids’ will be created. I exaggerate but I’m sure you will see my point. Apologies for grammar and such.
Mike. Thank you and welcome to Farenheit 211. I do also see the diversity and equality mantra as a form of brainwashing. It’s leading people to think that it is OK to shut down free speech in the name of ‘Diversity’.
I don’t think you are exaggerating the education system does seem to be creating a lot of ‘diversity droids’ like Ms Woolf who I mention in the post above.
Don’t worry about grammar, we all fall down on that at some times.

Islamic Jihad massacres, as hate crimes en-masse
Every Islamic terror act, anywhere, is a clear cut case of intolerance. It is always against the “other.”
True, by Islamic Jihad any infidel targets are fair-game. It’s just that some groups are easier targets than others, as “justification” are aided by propaganda, often backed by some radical liberals in the West. Such are many Muslim aggressors posing as “victims.” For instance, those Arab immigrants’ grandchildren, invaders in Jews’ Israel/Palestine who go by the title “Palestinians,” while some in the West really buy the notion that these mass-murderers (who hide behind civilians, to bring about casualties, to be used as trophies) are just about “Palestine-Arab-State,” ignoring or unaware of their real ethnic cleansing aims from the entire Holy Land.
Ethno-religious hatred classics:
Arab supremacy –derived from Koran, Koranic spirit and themes– especially resulting in enslaving Africans and Asians in the Arab world (often having the “inferior” non-Arabs as ‘sex-slaves’ as well) and the genocide in the Sudan (of already 3.5 million, since the 1950s) by a classic combination of Arab racism and Islamic Jihad. The same diabolical combination that “founded” (in the 1920s) the Arab Vs Israel “conflict,” by infamous Mufti who collaborated with the ultimate ‘racists’ – the WW2 Hitler/Nazis. Ever since, the ‘holy war’ against the Jews in the land has always been under the dual slogan of Allah Akbar and Itbach al-Yahud (AKA genocide). Leaving also behind, an inspired legacy of decades (and current) of ugly Nazi style cartoons in the hateful Arab press.
The Armenian Genocide 1915-23, was both: Turkish ethnic supremacy and an overall holy war against Christians. The same goes to Turkish anti-Greek and anti-Assyrian genocide. Totaling a combined 2.7 million Christian victims.
Ethno-Religious Moro-Muslims VS Philippines’ natives.
Ethno-Religious Malay-Muslims VS Thai natives.
Ethno-Religious Islamic-Hausa-Fulani VS Igbo Christians in Biafra Nigeria – 1960s-70s (3 million dead).
Current (2011-13) Boko Haram Islamic mass-murder campaign in that country, deepens the Ethno-Religious divide.
Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam Black-Muslim supremacy’s anti-White racism is deeply woven with radical Islamic vision. So were its linked Zebra murders in the 1970s and the Beltway snipers shootings in 2002.
Ethno-Religious “pure-Muslim” Pakistani VS Bangladeshi (regarded as the impure) genocide – 1971 (3 million dead).
Ethno-Religious “Palestinian” and Lebanese Muslims VS Christian Natives Maronites in Lebanon. 1970s-2000.
Iran-Iraq war – 1980s (a million victims – at least). Racism (Arab supremacy vs Aryan-Iranians) and “we are the true Muslims” motivation, on both sides.
Pakistani Sunnis and Shiites VS Ethno-Religious Ahmadis, resulting in mass violence. So is rampant anti-Ahmadi bigotry among “Palestinian” Arabs.
Ethno-Religious Muslim-Uighur VS Han native Chinese. Terror attacks (not just against government but against ordinary Chinese too) recorded.
Ethno-Religious Indonesian Muslims VS Chinese (1999 mass rape and murder) and VS native Catholics in E. Timor (200,000 victims).
One of the ardent supporters and admirers of Osama bin Laden, who celebrated 9/11 massacre, the pan-Arab, pan-Islamic AEL (Arab European League) founded by Arab Lebanese, former Hezbollah D. A. Jahjah, has been accused of inciting racism and violence in Belgium.
Ever since the bloody ‘Islamic theme of al-Aqsa’ intifada erupted (2000), Jews in Europe have been even an easier target to Islamic anti-Semitism, physical attacks and attempted ethnic cleansing. Such as by Arab/African Muslims in France; by Turkish/Iranian Muslims in Germany; by Arab-Muslims in the Benelux, Sweden and Norway. The kidnappers and torturers to death of Ilan Halimi to the sound of reciting the Koran (Paris, 2006) –for instance– were inspired by Hamas literature.
The (2012) Toulouse school massacre by Mohamed Merah of the Islamic hate group ‘Forsane Alizza,’ (NYT reported Jan/23/12, that its site was laced with hate posting, it typically claimed to be “fighting Islamophobia,” and the DailyTelegraph reported Mar/23/12, that in Jan/12, “Forsane Alizza was banned in France for inciting racial hatred,”) made sure to mention those “Palestinians.”
Likewise, Arabs in Latin America, have been targeting Jews.
The Pakistani Jihadi Lashkar-e-Taiba (“Army of the Pure”) in Mumbai (2008), aided by the ISI (Pakistan Spy Agency) specifically targeted Whites, and even more so the Jews.
Ethno-Religious Arab-Muslims VS native Coptic-Christians in Egypt, hate crimes still going on…
Ethno-Religious (mostly separated by origin/ethnicity as well) Shiite VS Sunnis, and vice versa in Iraq (Zarqawi argued that ‘Shia were more dangerous than the “Zionists and Crusaders,”‘ Egyptian Cleric said -Mar/09- “Shiites are worse than Jews,”) and in Pakistan.
Sunni Vs Alawites, Syria (al-Qaeda cleric’s Fatwa -Jul/12- calls Alawites, “greater infidels than the Christians and Jews”).
Bloodshed going on, full force.
A study about 2011 worldwide terror attacks -for example- found 70% of the (over 12,000) killings were perpetrated by Sunni Muslims. That includes: al-Qaeda, Taliban, and others.
Last point but not least: most “conflicts” and bloodshed around the globe today ARE correlated to Islamism.
