You may be right that diversity of the class may begin to have less importance in the future.
I also wonder what the makeup of some of the online schools are. What I am wondering really is whether some people's prejudices aren't as effected when they don't have to encounter people face to face all the time.
The fact that someone is of a different race or speaks a different language, or responds in a duragatory tone sometimes gets shielded by technology and its means of communications.
All of this would be an interesting topic of discussion sometime when we both have more time to discuss the issues.
