The madness is in trying to engineer equality of outcome (employment) without trying to engineer equality of input (education, healthcare).

  Make the process fair and the outcome will be fair, whatever it looks like. Unfortunately that doesn't have the same marketing power as "diversity" today.

    That's not the only definition of "fair". I agree with you, but a lot of people see fair as having equal representation of each sub-group according by their overall percentage of the population.

      Those people are fundamentally confused because they only look at group identity rather than individuals. And if we look at groups for fairness, then we must also look at groups for responsibility, and that leads to tremendous suffering. Are you ready to be responsible for whatever your "group" does?

      While false, that opinion is not provably false until you run an experiment where opportunity is more equally distributed.
