Ha ha! Apparently "overcoming diversity" is a common typo

[Maetryx]

The other day I misspoke and used the phrase "overcoming diversity" when I meant to say "overcoming adversity". Luckily, I was only talking to my wife and not leading a meeting at work or something. Anyway we cracked up over the phrase.

Well, today an HR representative showed me some of the diversity resources I have at my disposal and I remembered my humorous phrase (and kept it to myself). When she was done, I jumped on google to see if anyone else had ever used my humorous phrase.

Well. Yes. A lot, it looks like.

The first link is a page about inspirational speakers regarding "Overcoming Adversity", but the html title to the page is "Overcoming Diversity". Accident or malice?

Maybe you had to be there?

Would have cracked me up if the speaker had used that phrase at our recent White People Are Evil class.
