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:
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Nothing would improve newspaper criticism so much as the knowledge that it was to be read by men too hardy to acquiesce in the authoritative statement of the reviewer.”
—Richard Holt Hutton (1826–1897)
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
