How come the word diversity almost always means racial and ethnic diversity?

How come the word "diversity" almost always means "racial and ethnic diversity"? Most of the time, when I hear people use this word, they're referring to racial and ethnic diversity. What about diversity in:

• beliefs?
• income?
• educational attainment?
• fashion?
• religion?
• political ideologies?
• life?

And God knows what else.

The word diversity doesn't refer to racial and ethnic diversity exclusively. Why has the word become that way though? I think it's a little annoying.

Ya srsly, humans are dumb.

Because by race and ethnicity we can decipher * beliefs * income * educational attainment * fashion * religion * political ideologies * lifeLiftedHeadshot

I've heard it used in many contexts...

Hmmm, kinda sounds like stereotyping to me....... Don't you just love generalizations? Makes life so much easier not to have to think.
