I've noticed this trend of changing the meaning of words in recent decades. How do we prevent corruption of meaning? I hear "language evolves over time!" quite a lot, as if it's a law of nature, but I've never heard anyone question the statement to determine whether it's true or why it would be true. "Diversity" is a good example but there are numerous ("racism", "bigotry", etc).
I suspect the reasons for change would be insufficient to sway a majority. I suspect this is why the reasons aren't examined.
Originally there was an idea that a group with completely homogenous thoughts and opinions would lack innovation and problem solving ability. Ironically, the meaning of "diversity" has been corrupted to the point that it now requires homogenous thoughts and opinions.
