Whilst that’s true, I think it’s also a good example of how shortsighted most attempts at diversity are; in this case a Scandinavian would perhaps have the “diverse experience” to preempt a naïve implementation of a sunrise fiction, however diversity seems to always be about race or sex or identity, which seems to miss the point somewhat.
Edit: Which is to say that a male with fair hair and skin and a university education wouldn’t qualify as diverse in most contemporary conceptions of diverse, despite a likely underlying diversity of culture and experience.
