Agree with the author. I think a lot of clarity can be gained by answering the question they posed: > I think it’s important to ask ourselves what we want to accomplish with diversity quotas in the first place. Like the article says, maybe the company has found that hiring diverse candidates leads to more profits and they are seeking them out and letting the rest fall into place, i.e. they get higher salaries, better compensation packages... It would be no different than figuring out graduates from Stanford's such and such department end up doing particularly well in the company. Or maybe the company does want to right a wrong and want to not just improve its bottom line but also help marginalized groups who have been neglected, abused and pushed out in the past. Companies the size of Google, Amazon, Facebook and others can certainly, and maybe should take that position. They can influence the technology field and their policies can affect a huge number of people. But I think they shouldn't be shy about declaring their mission, and should be more bold, as opposed to trying to hide behind the former reason. It is this hiding that leads to controversy and conflict. Also in case of this article, the title could have been a bit less controversial too. It should have been something like "Diversity Quota Needs To be Explained".
