Do we really know what diversity means? How can we claim to try to diversify and then be flagrantly separatist? I was shocked when the "Eroticizing Sex" workshops differentiated on the basis of race -- one for Caucasians and one for people of color (DP 2/18/92). Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought we all did it the same way. I do not know which community is responsible for the decision, but I think it blatantly unconstitutional. Isn't "separate but equal" invalid? Didn't we fight for that? This workshop seems to perpetuate the stereotypes that the diversity police have been trying so hard to arrest. Are not our fears and intimate fellings the very ones we should be sharing? TOVA RUBIN College '92
