I think we both agree that diversity is good. I've made great friends through work, but not the majority of them. My friendship group is largely diversified by having "graduated" the friendships from knowing them online to meeting them in person, or meeting people at festivals. So, maybe I appreciate workplace diversity less in that aspect. If it's a common vector for one to diversify their environment, then it might be boon. I do think the way it's currently done is a bit... Shallow, lazy? For lack of a better analogy, it reminds me of a fad diet. But that's not really a constructive criticism on the topic, since I don't know what we should do better either

> way it's currently done is a bit... Shallow, lazy? Many in this thread have valid whataboutism points of the diversity argument, even if they are valid the danger is that they derail the argument. You should not undermine a movement if you support their goals in someway, you have to learn how to compromise or just learn from them and take up the fight for yourself. I've been part of building up many organizations, the online ones are always easier. That said I do not spend time with any of those people except online. I do not have the capacity for that.
