Diversity?

Diversity is constantly harped on in education, the media, the work place, and from our government. Last week on the news, I heard that Georgia Tech's incoming freshmen class would be the most diverse ever. They then listed the stats the prove it. The stats were based on race and gender. Is this really all diversity is? How we look? Why not our backgrounds, how we think, our personalities, our traits, our characteristics, our abilities? Things that really make us different, not just how we look. Sometimes I truly wonder how far we have come since Dr. King said he had a dream. Reports like this make me think not very far.
