Word Use Grumble

[forestofglory]

So I know this makes me a bad linguist descriptivist but it bothers me when people use the work "diverse" to refer to individuals rather than groups. Diversity is a property of groups not of individuals! My preferred phrase for what I think people mean when they call an individual "diverse" is "under represented." That is lot chunkier than "diverse" so I expect people will just keep using "diverse" and I'll have to put up with it.
