"Why do you need diversity?" You want diversity of opinion and diversity of talent. The question he's asking is: why do Americans care so much about diversity of skin color? Why does it matter if the engineers are all black or white or Malay or whatever? "There were too much buttons on it - it had been only designed by a team of men, all engineer." Yup. Because all men are incompetent at UI design, just like how girls can't do math. </sarcasm> "You want diversity in the product conception because you want your product to appeal to a diverse (global) world." What does that even mean? The vast, vast majority of products are only intended for First World use, because only First Worlders have the money to buy them. I really don't like how people use the words "cultural diversity" as a feel-good buzzword without actually understanding what it means. Real cultural diversity doesn't consist of dark-skinned people with bright-colored clothes doing some sort of ritual dancing. Real cultural diversity is like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFkeKKszXTw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFkeKKszXTw - things that seem horrifying, disgusting, and wrong to us. (Biblical culture is roughly as distant from ours as many African cultures are.)
