Diversity of ideas is superior to diversity of skin color.
Any initiative that seeks to create a "diverse workforce" by skin color consideration (even if coupled with other considerations) is inherently flawed.
Goodhart's Law tells us these initiatives boil down to a checkbox or statistic - some number that must be met. Which naturally leads to underqualified or unqualified candidates being brought on because of skin color.
Diversity of ideas is what you want. People of all skin colors come from all places, economic statuses, educational backgrounds, etc.
