if their Mottto is ‘celebrate diversity’ then I expect to see some diversity because they did definitely not celebrate that 

#+ europe is a diverse continent and not just different shades of white bread  #+ i am german i know about european dynamics

are you sure you know what you think you know because it sounds to me you know maybe something about… three or four major western european countries, if that, and that’s it. 

@lordhellebore​ @thequeensclock​ can y’all take this because i’m cringing this is like norton’s comment dissing ukraine’s presenters all over again

Sorry, I’m not dealing with this utter idiocy tonight, and from someone from my country no less. The fact alone they’re not even MENTIONING the fucking ROMA singer from Hungary while clamouring for “some diversity” … too stupid, can’t cope. 

Tumblr, the only group of people that thinks 40 people from the same 2 countries is diverse as long as they have different skin colors, whereas there is supposedly no diversity in 40 people from 40 different cultures, who each represent entire nations

@farronheit You need to understand how people view the word diversity is different from your view. 

Westerners need to learn how diversity works in Eastern Europe vs Western Europe because all I’m seeing are a bunch of ethnocentric people who know nothing about Eastern Europe except maybe fur hats and vodka; yet, these people want to criticize a country, a culture, a heritage they know nothing of while feeling self-righteous enough to do so.

Diversity means representing your country in your native language: Belarus, France, and Italy. 

Diversity means being Romani and singing in your Romani, native language: Hungary 

Diversity means expanding your music genre: Romania and Ukraine 

Diversity means sexuality: Montenegro 

Diversity means including ethnic minorities who are oppressed: Timur, a Tatar, one of the hosts for Ukraine. 

Diversity means having a song win that is about the very oppression of your people: Jamala, 1994, sung in a Tatar language. 

Diversity is about Asian representation: Cyprus, Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Azerbaijan and Bulgaria’s is half-Kazakhstani. 

Diversity is about showcasing your heritage with your native colours and culture: Armenia 

And if Russia performed, then diversity is about showing disabled women. 

Diversity is about having an Eastern European country win: Ukraine and then having a Southern European country win: Portugal (Look up P.I.G.S) 

There is more than one way of diversed and it is about time people pulled their enthnocentric heads out of their ass and realize that diversity is MORE THAN JUST SKIN COLOUR  and stop being ETHNOCENTRIC FOOLS. 

And like kolovratsk said, if you can’t see the diversity of 40 countries, 40 ethnicities, 40 cultures…Then the problem lies with you. You can’t see queer, native languages, Tatar, Asian, Kazakhstani, music, as diverse…Then the problem is you.
