Abstract | Examines diversity using Martin Luther King, Jr.'s metaphor of human unity, "the single garment of destiny," noting diversity's uniqueness in viewing America as individual groups, some of which have historically been denied privileges. Calls diversity a political doctrine that asserts that some social categories deserve compensatory privileges in light of historical and current prejudicial treatment. Notes the absence of diversity as a positive principle in founding documents. (SM) |
