>You can't have a representative group without diversity of gender and race. I think devmunchies' point is that if you have a finite set of job positions... e.g. 3 jobs, you might have the following situations: Group 1: 1) white man (Democrat Stanford grad) 2) white woman (Democrat Stanford grad) 3) black man (Democrat Stanford grad) Group 2: 1) white man (Democrat Stanford grad) 3) white man (Libertarian Kansas kid self-taught) 2) white man (South Africa bootcamp grad) Depending on what's important, Group 2 would be seen as "more diverse and representative" even though the skin color is all the same. In that case, diversity of thought is valued more than diversity of skin color.
