Really? Read about the New York Police "Class of '39". It was the tail end of the depression, and the New York Police had 30,000 applicants for 300 positions. They decided to choose them based on an intelligence test. As a body, the 300 people chosen attained far higher status than average police officers. Four became police chiefs, four deputy commissioners, two chiefs of personnel, one chief inspector, and one commissioner of the New York Police Department. They had far few disciplinary penalties than average. But you are no doubt right, had NYC chosen them on the basis of "diversity" instead, things would have been much better.
