I guess you should take a statistics class before taking this class so that you can understand that people are varied and different and not entirely defined by which groups they fit into.

EDIT: NB In case it is not clear I personally don't think that there are meaningful e.g. IQ differences between the (in my opinion totally arbitrary) groups of humans that people divide other people into where those groups are based on external characteristics.

Funnily enough when this idea is called "diversity" it's much less popular.


No, "diversity" would be more analogous to a mixture model. The parent comment was referring to a normal distribution.
