Here's an interesting thought experiment. What groups count as minority? When we reach 50% women, what if there aren't enough black women? Once we reach precisely 16% black women of the 50% women, what if there aren't enough short black women? Continue this and eventually you realize that the only real way to have perfect diversity is to go down to the individual level: Black Woman, age 35, Jamaican heritage, bachelor degree, 10 years experience, middle class, democrat, etc. Is the optimal system of representation at an individual level? Each person is a demographic of one. Saying that you lack diversity because most employees are "white male" is the same as claiming that all black women are the same (and would be better off with more white male "diverse" perspectives) -- sure you are missing one type of diversity, but you have infinite diversity along other axes (Heritage, Southern/Northern, Conservative/Liberal, Height, Weight, Family life, College, Religion, Hobbies, Interests, Health Issues, Strengths/Weaknesses, Experience). If you want to refute this point, then please start by demonstrating that all black women think alike, and how they might benefit from the diversity of more white men.
