Naw. In the 80s and 90s I worked in corporate IT. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, male, female, straight, gay… all professionals. Worked together. Were all friends. We all got promoted based on drive and demonstrated capability. We wondered then what you educated leftist were babbling about. It never made sense. But now it does. Your decades of failed liberal policies decimated the lower class and blacks have been the most hurt. And so you educated left elites came up with a new ideology to blame others. But you are class bigots and always have been. Your guilt about this drives you insane.
‘I don't agree with "adversity (as) the common experience"
Clearly an elite that has not had much diversity to overcome. It is for most people. Especially today… except for most upper middle class females… life is good for them today.
"Overcome diversity?" Certainly. Everyday. Everyone is unique. Diversity is ubiquitous. Overcome adversity? That too. Lots. More to come. That is ubiquitous too.
Diversity of perspective, experience, opinion, thinking, seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling... all a gift of God and an asset of humanity... and a constant challenge to process, understand, appreciate, value, and not denigrate, disrespect, trash and attack. It is an obstacle when tribalism takes over to demand group think compliance to THEIR ideas and views and silence others. The reason we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights, and a Supreme Court is to generally protect against that. Skin color, sexual orientation and gender identy are NOT diversity and are crap excuses for left tribalism which is all about elite luxury tribal virtue signaling and a pursuit of staus, power and money. Lefties don't really care about diversity.
Maybe we can make a distinction btwn lefties and liberals? If Nancy Pelosi is a lefty, then anyone to the left of Richard Nixon is a communist revolutionary.
Nancy is an old liberal that leans left politically as do all liberals by definition.
There is the left and there is the radical or hard-left. Nancy is not radical or hard-left, but she certainly like using those people to get her liberal political way.
I have to ask the same question of you. If you think Pelosi leans right, how narrow is the bandwidth of what it is you consider left? What is your definition of left and right?
Here is my definition. There is a linear ideological spectrum that at the far right is complete anarchy (individual freedoms) and at the far left is complete totalitarian authoritarianism (collective over individual). Nancy is way more on the left side of that spectrum from her policy and voting record. Nancy is a Karen into everyone else's business.
Anarchy is also far left. Discover what the term means. Fascism is totalitarian authoritarianism. Anarchy is the opposite (at least certain forms of anarchy).
Anarchy as defined by David Graeber and Nome Chomsky is not chaos.
Also, to more accurately address your question to me: where the so-called 'center' is located on the spectrum is an indicator of the current political climate. The 'center' has been shifting to the right since at least the first clinton administration, such that Obama was to the right of Richard Nixon, and called a 'socialist' by some reckless people on the right. These labels, misdirected, muddy the water in political discussion.

Have you overcome diversity in your career?
"Overcome diversity?" Certainly. Everyday. Everyone is unique. Diversity is ubiquitous. Overcome adversity? That too. Lots. More to come. That is ubiquitous too.
That was an apparent Freudian slip on your part. How does one "overcome" diversity?
Is diversity an obstacle?
