Hello

In the segment

should I read this as

1 (An) Exception(s) to cultural diversity

or

2 From exceptions (all the way up) to cultural diversity

Thanks

from cultural exception to cultural diversity
Explanation:
Since you place the context in social sciences/ media, this seems to refer to the specific French topic of exception culturelle.
"Cultural exception has been gradually replaced by the more consensual concept of cultural diversity"

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: I think that in French, the first "cultural" is understood, but that it helps to be explicit in English.
