“Ériger la diversité en principe, c'est entretenir l'altérité. On évoque d'ailleurs de plus en plus souvent des minorités ethno-raciales comme des personnes "issues de la diversité", voire de "divers". Cette appellation pour le moins curieuse laisse entendre que certaines personnes viendraient d'un mystérieux pays nommé la Diversité dont les habitants seraient les Divers. La diversité ne serait donc pas le produit d'un mélange entre Blancs et non-Blancs mais le nom que l'on donne à l'entité exclusivement composée de non-Blancs. Les personnes blanches n'étant pas "issues de la diversité", nous en déduirons logiquement qu'elles sont déjà dans leur pays, la Normalité.”

“Le terme de diversité revêt un autre aspect pratique : il permet d'englober toutes les formes de discriminations ainsi qu'aux différents types de discriminations de se neutraliser en n'apparaissant pas comme des questions à part entière. Désormais, dans le concept de diversité, on inclut l'homosexualité, la parité hommes/femmes, le handicap, l'âge avancé. C'est une subtile manière d'englober plusieurs problèmes qui n'ont pas les mêmes sources, le meilleur moyen des les "invisibiliser".”

“Anishanaabeg women hunted, trapped, fished, held leadership positions, and engaged in warfare as well as engaged in domestic affairs and looked after children. They were encouraged to show a broad range of emotions, and express their gender and sexuality in a way that was true to their own being, as a matter of both principle and survival. Anishinaabeg men hunted, trapped, fished, held leadership positions, engaged in warfare, and also knew how to cook, sew, and look after children. They were encouraged to show a broad range of emotions, and express their gender and sexuality in a way that was true to their own being, as a matter of both principle and survival. This is true for other genders as well. The degree to which individuals engaged in each of these activities depended on their name, clan, extended family, skill, interest, and most important, individual self-determination or agency. Agency was valued, honored, and respected, because it produced a diversity of highly self-sufficient individuals, families, and communities. This diversity of highly self-sufficient and self-determining people ensured survival and resilience that enabled the community to withstand difficult circumstances. Not Murdered and Not Missing: Rebelling against Colonial Gender Violence. March 15, 2014. Nations Rising. Thanks to Miigwech/Nia:wen/Mahsi Cho, Tara Williamson, Melody McKiver, Jessica Danforth, Glen Coulthard, and Jarrett Martineau.”
