'Diversity' is usually code for blacks and women. True diversity of thought and experiences are what bring the benefits, which means that a team of 100% males could be highly diverse. In general I would agree that woman and blacks do have different experiences in life to most people in Silicon Valley. I fear that the push to improve 'diversity' will actually reduce true diversity. Companies in Silicon Valley usually hires people from the same universities who all have similar experiences. This crowds out the hiring from less famous universities, overseas students and other parties. There are no vocal activists to push that kind of diversity. I still think we as a community should be open to all to participate. But we shouldn't have to lose what makes our community great in the process. I don't know about you guys, but I don't care about the race, religion or sex of the other parties I work with. I only care about the quality of their work and that they aren't arseholes to be around.
