Using empirical data from fieldwork conducted at a city office in Sweden, the article reflects on how the staff contextualise diversity in such a way that allows them to seamlessly fade in and out between making cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity relevant and irrelevant.Using the concepts of post-Otherness and postmigration, I argue that categories built around ethnic, religious, and cultural stereotypes were made irrelevant by the staff in the office context, while still being significant to them to understand and define society outside the office
