Answer 5

Two wholly different definitions for your 2 questions.The first is simply a broad range of any given thing in a common sphere.The second is a horrific totalitarian game played on people to cause division in races.http://www.amren.com/ar/1997/07/index.ht...  http://www.academia.org/lectures/lind1.h...     ps it is not important in the workplace.It forces others to do the work of less-qualified people hired only based on race or gender to meet racial quotas.

Answer 6

I dont know if it is important or good but in Australia the 15-20 % of the non-white population are not co-hesive enough as yet to form their own economy, and so if marginalised will be left to rot while everyone else whinges of "skill shortages"
