At Random Ramblings, all of our writers come from diverse backgrounds, be it suburban or inner city.  We pride ourselves mostly, that through our diversity none of it came from a politically correct view or stand point. Everyone from Christian to myself came together because we are friends with a common purpose to do what we love and that’s to write and voice our opinions.

Sometimes we don’t always get along, but we always talk it out and resolve the issues.

We first looked at the issue of diversity as a cause desperately in need of championing, but also as a cause that should happen naturally because we are human beings who want nothing more than to be treated fairly, and provided the same opportunities as all others.

 Diversity should happen organically and never be forced upon a person or company.

Random Ramblings is all about hiring the best candidate to do the job at hand, that could mean the candidate is Black, White, Latin, Asian, Gay, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, if that person is the best qualified we hired them. When you start trying to legislate and force things you lose the beauty of what you’re trying to accomplish in the first place.

It breeds contempt, I’ve seen it on a job I used to be an employee of, people would say “this person got hired because of affirmative action, another person got hired because they are this or that.” Instead of  understanding that the actual reason they were hired is because they are the best qualified candidate. I am not naïve enough not to understand that this does happen from the highest to lowest levels, but it’s not because of diversity, it’s more more in line with trying to be politically correct.

Instead of being politically correct, let’s just be correct, and enjoy are beautiful diverse world and all that it’s inhabitants have to offer.
