> You imagine a school where everyone looks the same
The author of that comment does not want everybody to look the same, it was just a rhetorical device - the problem is not that people don't look the same, but that looks is everything that is considered. The opposite of "caring only about physical diversity" is not "demanding physical uniformity", it's "demanding diversity not only in genetic traits but also in other aspects". I am old enough to remember when the need for diversity was explained as "we need people of different background with different ways of thinking, because that would lead to greater intellectual outcomes as individual biases would be compensated and cancelled out". Now it's "we need people of different genetic background because if you don't agree with it than shut up, racist!". Somehow the old one was way more intellectually satisfying than the new one.
