Why not diversity of skin color?
Diversity is both of these things. It is true that you can have more diversity in a room of people of one race than a room of people of all different races, but it's more common that you will find diversity across lines like race, gender, age, etc.

The sum total of all human experience has not yet been recorded in books, and those hypothetical books are not required reading for all humans, and even if they were, some people just wouldn't absorb the information due to their own biases.

- hitpointdrew 4y agoI am not against diversity of skin color, but I also don't think that should be the goal. You assemble a group of people that have a diversity of ideas, if the group you end up with happens to be diverse in skin color and sexual orientation, then fine who cares? But those aren't the defining characteristics or the ultimate goal, a broad spectrum of ideas is.
