> I'm sorry, but "why?", by itself, is never a serious question.

I asked my question crisply and respectfully, taking the pro-diversity folks as serious and being people of goodwill.

I think it's disrespectful of you, not to mention logically deficient, to immediately start your attack by asserting that my question was not intended in good faith.

If you can't muster up a simple, respectful response to a simple respectful question, it doesn't speak well of your self examination on this topic.




The problem with asking "Why?" is that you leave yourself open a retort of "Why not?". Unless your argument managed to cover that possibility (which yours didn't) it's not a meaningful question.
