After having to defend his views on school busing at the first Democratic debate, former Vice President Joe Biden may now have to deal with another issue from his past that is likely to spark controversy.

Biden argued that diversity is not America’s strength in a speech at the National Bank of Auburn’s fourth annual business forecast luncheon, according to the Feb. 17, 1976 edition of The Syracuse Post Standard. Biden was speaking at New York’s Springside Inn.
