Why can't these white males be diverse? Let me expand your example...
> You can say that there is "diversity of thought" in a group of white males who all went to ivy leagues because one worked in the gaming industry in the UK and the other ran his own web company from his laptop as he travelled the United States...
You can still have a diverse workforce if you ignore race and gender. If diversity of thought, gender, and race are in fact correlated as you say, then if you ignore race/gender and try to get the most interesting people, you'll naturally have a that pizza pie as a side-effect, except you won't be racist or sexist about it.
I filter resumes and do interviewing, and I don't care if you are black, asian, white, male, female or whatever. I just want to see how interesting/diverse of a experiences you've had.

I just want to see how interesting/diverse of a experiences you've had. And how do you judge "interesting/diverse experiences"? Presumably through your own extremely blind and biased filter (because really we all are). How diverse is your hiring committee?
- devmunchies 10y agoYes. We do all have biases, but I feel more comfortable judging what experiences seem interesting rather than which candidate has brown skin. It's racist.
