Diversity is the practice of including and elevating differences, whether they are racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, or physical appearance. Eliana is constantly reminded of the lack of diversity within her Texas town and especially the negative perceptions of fat people. An important facet of successful diversity is not just the presence of differences but the acceptance of those who are different.
