I think the entire idea of "hip, cozy conformism posing as non-conformism" has as much validity as an old Bewitched episode with the characters pretending to be dirty hippies.
Excellent example. Using a retro-TV sitcom reference to illustrate your disagreement does more to validate the author's point than it does to undermine it. Bravo! I couldn't have said it better myself.
The website makes no claim to be anything other than trivial and entertaining, its founder made a book out of it, but wisely avoids reading anything significant into it, or building a social thesis on it.
What is revealed is less comfortable to confront: those who proudly carry the banner of "diversity" are, in reality, some of the most narrowly-conformist people you'll ever meet in your life.
