When I think of diversity, I think of diversity of religion, race, and nationality. Diversity has a variety of a specified subject. In my high school we were all a diverse school on the aspect of race and nationality. There were various races and nationalities present at our school.
I am entitled to freedom of diversity. I am able to be whatever religion, marry whoever, love any race, and work with or for anyone. These freedoms give us this diversity, there are no limits on the imagination.I try not to judge people based on their religion or race. There is a lot of prejudice around. But, I always get to know a person internally before I make statements about them.When I see the opposite sitting together at lunch, I feel that is a blessing and privilege. People were persecuted before because of who they loved, and now we have that freedom. I am aware of my personal communication style and try to talk clearly and precisely. And I try to talk to everyone and be genuine. Everyone deserves respect. I am comfortable in a diverse relationship when I feel as though they understand me and I understand them. Those relationships make a person who they are, I learn from their culture and they learn from mine. Diversity is what makes America different. We all have freedoms to accomplish the goals we want to . We have freedoms to live life as we see fit. We have no persecution from the state or who we love and associate with. That's our right and freedom to branch out towards diversity. Imagine an America that's not diverse. Would it be America or another country? People left the persecution and non-acceptance in their native land why would we put prejudice on them in America? Do you want someone to judge you by your skin color, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or gender? Or would you rather live in a world where you are accepted for who you are, your character and not on what you have accomplished.

Generally speaking, but it's still illegal for homosexuals to marry one another, and a Rastafarian would still get arrested and jailed for smoking marijuana as an exercise of his religious practices as would a cancer patient trying to relieve their pain (in most states anyway).
Still, a good blog post. It's true for the most part when it comes to interracial interactions as there is legally no law to stop two people from marrying or just hanging out with one another. There is always that social stigma though in some areas... Very optimistic... and there's nothing wrong with that :).
