Sarcasm and Sincerity Clash in the #IStandForDiversity Tag on Twitter
On Twitter right now, there is something of a culture war happening over, well, culture. The tag #IStandForDiversity is trending and some are using it to champion America as a mixing pot while others are condemning tolerance left and right.
Observe the anti-diversity crowd:

The pro-diversity crowd:
