Criticism
The term and ideology is often criticized for multiple reasons. These reasons include the opinion that the tenet advocates black power, xenocentrism and misandry (female chauvinism), focused too much on the victim status of people who are not male or Caucasian, belief that the concept threatens sovereignty (or even cultural diversity in itself), and inhibits free speech.
Some believe "diversity" is a meaningless buzzword used by those who espouse political correctness, or even a misleading word to support the creation of a one world government with a one world culture.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
