>I've gotten plenty of training that makes it extremely clear that discrimination based on protected classes is unacceptable in all contexts There are plenty of cases where discrimination against unprotected classes still happens. Cases where studies cannot find a correlation between selected candidates and things like retention rate, performance etc. These include cases where one would be skipped over despite having personality attributes the team is sorely lacking. >You're hiring humans to work with other humans. It's because we work together as humans, most of the things you said don't really matter. Most humans can work together despite their differences. That's one huge problem with hiring as a whole, trying to find carbon copies of each other while espousing they value diversity. That's not to mention all this "one of us" hoo-ha just stimulates chameleon behavior. Which benefits the person opposite of you, but it doesn't do you much favor in the long run.
