"Diversity" is not even a real value. It is a completely made-up pseudo-value that radical leftists have instrumentalized to attack Western culture. The foremost issue with artificial "diversity" is that it contrives an "oppressed vs. oppressor" narrative by implication and sows it into works where it is foreign. Secondly, this fetishizing of "diversity" does not extend to individuals. There are few sympathetic conservatives or villainous radicals. This reeks of political motive and it is obviously by design. Critically, there is a lack of ideological diversity. Stories that do not surrender to DEI and other leftist tropes are explicitly cut out of Hollywood awards. This is obviously driven by a push for ideological conformity, not diversity. Additionally, the supposed fascination with "diversity" does not extend to European subcultures or Christian schools of thought. Notice how Hollywood doesn't recognize the "diversity" of Europeans? Are the Orthodox Greeks the same as the Catholic Italians? Are the Jesuit French the same as the Lutheran Germans? No, but this kind of diversity is not relevant to radicals who are simply weaponizing the pseudo-value of diversity to attack Western culture. So, critically speaking, the artificial "diversity" introduced by Woke Hollywood corrupts the natural diversity inherent in classic literature, and obscures it, thereby damaging these texts' ability to illuminate the human condition.
