It’s not that people don’t want diversity, it’s that the pendulum of inclusiveness has swung to the opposite end; where it can only be recognized as exclusiveness. Diversity of skin color has been achieved for the most part, but now it’s extended to exclusive thought patterns which is not what diversity should be about. Diversity of thought should be embraced but that seems to be the exact opposite of what’s happening in these corporate “diversity” programs and people recognize that as a farce.
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y ago> Diversity of skin color has been achieved for the most part Source? In tech at least this is very much untrue. Black and Hispanic people in my experience don’t appear in tech as often as their population in general might indicate.

- hospitalJail 3y agoYou aren't talking about skin color then. There are plenty of Asians of various colors of brown that could pass as Hispanic. My Indian boss used to have Mexicans come up to him speaking Spanish. You are talking about Race. Anyway, with each round of layoffs, I've seen companies get more diverse in race. It could be HR being racist... or HR paying African Americans and Hispanic people less and they didn't get cut first. Yikes yikes yikes.
- P_I_Staker 3y agoLMAO, this is where HN really loses me. I'm unable to understand how anyone could possibly think where anywhere close to achieving diversity of skin color. This is absolute insanity, and I'm expected to pretend this is a reasonable idea and debate against it.
