The problem with promoting diversity as a goal is that you can define diversity however you want. The author mocks others for including women but not "women of color". Similarly, I've heard other argue that diversity of socio-economic class is more important than other definitions. Because are you really promoting diversity by including only those with that went to the same school and had the same upbringing as everyone else? Who gets to define what should be promoted?
Depending on the organization, diversity can be a key driver of success but when it's forced upon society as a moral imperative, it brings out those that choose to use social constructs and recent history as a means of consolidating their own power. Be wary of those who claim to speak for any one group of people, especially if you never got a ballot.
