With all do of my respect sir, but I can not agree with,, diversity problem ". Let me get something straight. Discrimination is a cancer and I am strongly against judging people based on their religion, gender, skin color etc. But at the same time I am as well against pushing,, fake diversity" into people. Everybody makes their own life choices including education. If in your class of 50 people are no women or ethnical minorities that simply means that none of them wanted to attend your lecture, because there is no form of formal prohibition against them. Moreover you were upset that in your class are only white people. I find it kind of biggotry. What the hell is wrong with skin color of your student that you got upset?
