The assumption that diversity won’t happen organically and needs to be forced ignores the fact that diversity has naturally increased over time in many fields, including the military, politics, and business, without strict mandates. When barriers are removed and equal opportunities are provided, people from all backgrounds succeed based on merit and interest rather than enforced quotas. Forcing diversity risks prioritizing identity over competence.
True fairness means equal treatment and opportunity, not equal outcomes. Mandating diversity can lead to discrimination against qualified individuals simply because they belong to overrepresented groups.
While government intervention played a role in civil rights advancements, many changes happened because of societal shifts and activism, not just forced mandates.
The civil rights movement, women’s suffrage, and military integration were driven by cultural, political, and economic changes, not merely by government force. Many diverse individuals have risen to leadership naturally, proving that change does happen organically when barriers are removed.
Forced diversity is neither necessary nor always beneficial. A fair system prioritizes individual merit and opportunity, allowing diversity to naturally increase over time as barriers disappear. Government mandates played a role in history, but long-term success depends on cultural and societal shifts, not force.
