@ndrew_lawrence Oh, please—allow me.

@TuckerCarlson, diversity starts in nature. Science has proven that lack of diversity results in deformation and failure to evolve. An Olympic-sized gene pool is unquestionably better for life than a tiny, muddy puddle.

But let's move beyond science.

@ndrew_lawrence @TuckerCarlson Diversity in the workforce drives success. Why do "think-tanks" exist? Simple—to bring disparate ideas to the table, examine their merits, and promote goals which stand the best chance of being successful. People who think differently stir imagination and creativity.

@ndrew_lawrence @TuckerCarlson Want proof of that? Look at the open-source community, which has brought amazing (and often free) software to consumers. Everything from Mozilla Firefox to Wikipedia to Linux—all from open-source, and benefitting from programmers worldwide working together for a better product.

@ndrew_lawrence @TuckerCarlson And let's look at civil rights—in the sixties and today, both blacks and whites joined forces to progress basic #humanrights. I can't possibly understand what is is to be a person of color, but diversity provides me with the chance for education, enlightenment, and understanding.

@ndrew_lawrence @TuckerCarlson In our military, diversity is a no-brainer. #Navajo and other indigenous "code talkers" were instrumental in our success in World War II. Ditto for the Tuskegee Airmen, who fought for our country despite being denied the very rights they were protecting.

@ndrew_lawrence @TuckerCarlson In marriage, diversity also comes into play. A partner who thinks differently tempers every aspect of a marriage, from how to successfully raise healthy, productive children to making best decisions for a happy home and a comfortable life. Wisdom comes from challenges to ideals.

@ndrew_lawrence @TuckerCarlson And we must not forget organizations like the @UN, which brings different countries and cultures together for mutual economic success, shared knowledge and intelligence, and a safer planet. Even though we speak different languages, our voices are MUCH stronger when combined.

@ndrew_lawrence @TuckerCarlson @UN #Diversity is critical to every aspect of life. That's why we promote it, why we cherish it, and why we must protect it at all costs.
