> Diversity is important

For what exactly ? There are countless examples of compagny who innovated or succedded well while everyone being the same race / gender (cf microsoft / apple in the 1990s or literally any china compagny right now).

I do enjoy diversity at work because I don't like when all my peers look / think / speak the same, but it's not exactly "important" beside my personal enjoyment



And there are countless examples of a company that caused serious damage by not being diverse, see as an example the introduction of seatbelts and airbags that were designed by and tested for men and male-sized dummies, and not women or children.


Lets hire children then so they can advise on security issues><.

My point is Its a huge unproven assumption that diversity would have magically solved that problem.
