Newest QC request: Don't use the Word "Diversity"

[Parham93]

so got this fun QC request tonight.

"Please revisit and revise the following term, ensuring that you do not repeat the identified words in your revision commentary: 'DIVERSITY'. "

Comment in the report references the diversity of the comparables in the general market area in terms of style, features and amenities specifically...

and was told to reference the FNMA B4-1.1-04 and FRE 5603.4 which does not state Diversity is a bad word ....

It's almost like no one actually reads our reports for context. I really wish someone would put together a list of all the specific words that are bad words now and not just normal basic English words

What was the context in which you used the word? I am trying to remember if I ever used the word 'diversity' to explain real estate value.

Diversity has become a political buzzword and talking point. No surprise it is on the no no list. I use the word varied

The funny part is I'm not supposed to reference the word in the revision request.. so they want me to change the report without indicating in the report what/why it was changed..

And fine.. it;s on a NoNo list... show me the list.. let me know what words to not use beyond the Fair Housing normal stuff.. but they wont because tomorrow it might be a new buzz word that someone who doesn't or can't actually read the report in context decides to change

That's it, a buzzword, nothing more. I would generalize what you mean by diversity, home design, locational amenities, etc.

If you have been awake during the past 4 years you would have to realize how the term "diversity" has been used, 99.9% of the time it is used to describe people. How many times have you heard DEI and what does DEI mean. C'mon man.

diversity variety

Better yet, if it’s important, just state specifically the what variations exist.

As to how to handle the revision request, there’s no requirement to restate the word. Just state, at the client’s request some language in the report was modified for clarity.

There's part of your reply if you want to try and get a point across (which would be a waste of time IMO)or you could just say it was a correction of a typographical error

Oh.. I have been awake and watching it all... I just don't buy into the BS... people want to hijack basic language and expect everyone else to bow to their will...

I know there will always be morons out there that we all have to deal with on a daily basis.. sorry I guess the correct term in todays world is "Underwriters"... but
