  I think he’s referring to diversity of ideas, not superficial attributes like race/gender/sexual preference/etc. A group of people that look different but all have the same world view is not a diverse group, imo.

  They’re only superficially diverse, perhaps due to the homogeinity of the Bay Area. Basically the companies only look at skin color and what’s between your legs. As long as you have an American middle class/upper class upbringing or at the minimum had your education in certain American universities. So culturally they are pretty much identical. From this point of view a white, black and asian American middleclass teenagers that have had identical education are wildly different and bring diverse viewpoints. Whereas a French, Italian and a Polish person would be non diverse. Even though the latter group has massively different cultural background compared to the first group.

  from what i've seen, bay area companies try to be racially diverse (and mostly fail) but don't try to be culturally diverse. everyone might look different, but they 100% think the same way.
