I've often wondered about this myself. I always see "diversity is a moral good" and "diversity is good for business" bundled together. What happens if we were to hypothetically discover unequivocally that more homogenous groups outperformed for diverse ones? Plenty of non-diverse societies are high-achieving (Japan, South Korea, Scandinavia. It always creeps me out when people try to couple morality with "and it's got a practical benefit too". The whole point of a moral is that you follow it because you do, not because you get some added reward.
If folks (and society as a whole) are going to push diversity, we should all be clear on whether this is a moral issue or a practical issue because the implications are very different and it dictates which one takes priority.
