I think we're mostly agreeing. The point I'm trying to make is that cultural diversity is arguably more important than racial diversity, but we're only measuring racial diversity where the ethnic background of the person is the only thing that matter. For example, if a white couple were to adopt a black kid, and you hired that kid, that would boost "diversity numbers". What would be much more interesting to me would be to see what proportion of employees' parents had college degrees, were they the first ones in their families to get college degrees, the amount of money that their parents made when they were growing up, if their parents spoke the language as a native speaker, if they grew up in a traditional two parent family. That would be far more compelling and would result in more diversity. For instance, there are plenty of fourth generation chinese immigrants to the US living in Chinatown that still don't speak English. If they tried to get help for coding or academics, they kind of out of luck because of the color of their skin. Similarly for white kids who grew up in a dying town in the rust belt, or an indian kid who's parents manage a hotel in the rural south. Because of their race, not because of their disadvantages, they're cut off from help. And btw, there is not much nonsense about broken families. It can be debatable whether or not single parent households are good or not but black (including African immigrants, as they don't split them out) families are a lot more likely to be single parent. http://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/107-children-in-single-parent-families-by#detailed/1/any/false/869,36,868,867,133/10,11,9,12,1,185,13/432,431 http://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/107-children-in-...
