That's probably because you have not suffered to be the only people of your country/race/culture in a company. It's an awful feeling. The rest of colleagues have many common cultural references that you cannot identify with.
A forced bootstrap is a good idea, once the doors are open it is easier to get some level of natural integration. Without a critical mass diversity is extremely hard on the ones that venture beyond their stereotypical place in society.

None of them are represented by the usual minority voices. The only minorities that ever get attention are women and blacks. And the reason for that is that these minorities have disproportionate influence and visibility in the public sphere.
- Simulacra 6y agoThat's because companies and society in general is afraid of women and blacks. Asians are routine discriminated against in academia, but nobody fears them. Hispanics and Latinos are horribly abused by companies and the labor market, not to mention the government, but nobody fears them. Women and blacks will sue you, riot, and drag you through the mud with no proof other than their own personal outrage. The media picks it up and amplifies it with disregard to the truth. That's the only reason society responds to them, not out of concern, but fear, which is the worst possible motive.
