"lack of diversity"
If two groups are different enough that, when you put them together, you call it "diversity"; then why would you expect them to be statistically identical when you pull the groups apart again?
In other words, if the concept of diversity exists at all, you would expect some groups to be overrepresented in one area and underrepresented in others. Why is any of this a surprise?
Note that I am not saying there are any kinds of inherent limitations on what people can accomplish. It could be any number of factors that cause two groups to diverge: culture, life experience, preferences, etc.
But it's pure madness to celebrate diversity and the attack any differences in outcomes.
