SO true. Diversity being taught and 'valued' in schools is an even greater distortion than you've described. Children are not taught to embody and 'know thyself' and where they come from... It's as though the 'diversity' nomer is a culture in and of itself, to which everyone is 'supposed to belong'. Ironic, isn't it? Love this post! SO true.

Having been typecast as "other" all my life, all I've ever wanted is to be accepted on my own terms, not the clinically PC terms handed down by those who'd think they have more authority to speak about my experience than I do. True diversity is about acknowledging and respecting difference at the level that is most deeply and personally felt, in all its individual nuance, colour and messy ambiguity. It has nothing to do with politics, whether of the oppressive mainstream variety, or liberal banner waving kind. You might enjoy the works of Richard Rodriguez (Brown: The last discovery of America).

It is reasonable to me that place finder is therefore applicable to the creative class based on those values. Maybe you don't fit the definition of the creative class, but then I'd say this tool isn't for you, which is fine.
