How do you define diversity?

Diversity comes from background, thoughts, beliefs, and shared experience.  As minority groups become the majority in the US, diversity will be less about where you were born or what your ethnic heritage is, but instead  about how each groups ideas intermingle and maintaining a respect for diverse viewpoints based on your cultural history.
