No. Ethnocentrism adopts the idea that an individual's ethnicity should shape (or does shape) their viewpoints. It endorses a person to form their opinions and ideas based on the perceived strengths and skills of their ethnicity. In some forms, it encourages physical or social segregation, either self-ordained or against other ethnicities. Diversity challenges ethnocentric ideas--to accept diversity is to accept that all ethnicities are equal, that no singular ethnic history or viewpoint is "right". All ethnic cultures have made both contributions and also mistakes in their histories; and culture should be based less on one's genetic makeup and more on one's social experiences.
