From what I can tell, most diversity efforts are more like a fig leaf. They don't want to change how the company works so it can be more diverse, they want to fit more women and minorities into how things work now. It's all about status quo, and maybe having an "event" or hosting a "girls who code" type class in the office space, that sort of thing. And don't get me wrong, doing those kind of things is perfectly noble and good, nothing wrong with it. But ultimately this only seems like an issue the industry wants to fix if it doesn't have to really do much of anything.
