> because they don't count as diverse Well yes. If your fruit salad consists of 80% apples and 20% pears, you're not going to get a better mix by adding even more apples. That's basic math, even if the apples might not like it. That being said, I keep reading about growing pies and not-zero-sum games, so you could apply the same logic here as well: if the percentage of women (vs men) or blacks (vs whites) etc should be increased, that doesn't necessarily mean that the absolute counts of men has to be reduced or that from this day on, no more men have to be employed for new jobs. It just means that employment numbers of women have to grow faster than those of men. Also, if there are root causes that can be addressed, such as different training biographies, it could be possible to archive that change without mandating any kind of specific employment policies.
