University I'm applying to requires a statement of contributions to diversity in the classroom, new student recruiting etc. Most of these statements are around 2 pages. I don't even know where to start with this bullshite. So, I figured the best most appropriate place to come for advice on this was the OT.

You could say that you sat and read the entire Tiger rant during the Steele announcement. That was some diversity.

I frick all broads, and have 15 children of mixed racial backgrounds. Through fathering so many illegitimate children, I have done my part to ensure the diversity of their classes for years to come.

Agreed. I would start off with that.

You definitely got some good shite here to start your diversity statement......you can add "hands up, don't shoot" or "I can't breathe" just to take it over the top

This is why academia is such a false reality. Diversity of ideas is desirable. Diversity of ethnic and/or gender by itself offers nothing. This political correct, revisionist history, and leftist leading mentality will ultimately doom the brick and mortar academic institutions.

Amen. I've thought of putting I teach and grade papers while blindfolded. There's times I cannont believe some of the shite academia does is real.

Check out the websites of universities you're familiar with and navigate to the diversity and inclusion (or similar some similar title) office and you'll get an idea. You must be new to academia if you're not familiar with "this bullshite."
