They're saying that if you have one team that's all Mexican and another team that's all Chinese, neither of these teams are diverse. Your company might have diversity if you look at the employees as a whole, but segregation is not part of what diversity is supposed to mean.
- adamjc 9y agoEthnicity is not the only measure of diversity. To boil diversity down to one metric like that is missing the point.
- gknoy 9y agoYou're right, but I think it's still important to consider. If I had a team of engineers that were from diverse cultures, but all happened to be male, I would feel that lack of (gender) diversity would still be a fair criticism. It's not boiling it down to one metric, it's pointing out that there's an important metric that might have been missed.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoI didn't boil down diversity to one metric. I was responding to this: > I'm curious what definition of Diversity you're using that a team of people from all over the world doesn't qualify. What you wrote would work better as a response to that than to what I wrote.
