Yes. I am suspicious of any company that has written diversity into its corporate structure. Here in South Africa, racism is economically sanctioned by well-intentioned BBE (black economic empowerment) "diversity" laws, which made it illegal to do business with government unless your company is majority black-owned. This guaranteed the creation of countless rent-seeking middlemen, which increased costs for the poor majority they were designed to protect and caused valuable skills to leave the country. With widespread power outages, South Africa is not doing so well. If diversity does not arise naturally in an equal opportunity environment, then either the opportunity is unequal, or the homogeneity is inherent in the makeup of the hiring pool. If you try to compensate for this by hiring for diversity in your company instead of excellence, you will lose in the marketplace. Of course, I support giving everyone an equal opportunity, but I remain unconvinced you can reconcile forced diversity with excellence.
