Consider the following comments and the assumptions about diversity each represent.
Charles: "I have no problem with African-Americans. I have partners at work who are black, and after spending time with them, I now see that they are just like me."
Rebecca: "Isn’t the concept of capitalism just plain LOGIC? I mean, consider America. It's the only place in the world where people can arrive with nothing and build a fortune. And, it's all because of capitalism. Why can't other countries just get it together and stop being so illogical? The only way a country can be economically sound is through capitalism and doing things the American way."
Marisa: "It's so great when people realize that really, we're all the same. We are one world, one people. Focusing on differences is dangerous; instead, people should take time to realize that everyone is just like everyone else."
Paul: "I hear what you're saying and why you might think that the same tactics that work in your country will work here. But they won't. This is a different country. Our way is best for this type of a project."
