That sounds like you agree that diversity isn't the cause of anything. In other words, actively seeking out diversity itself (which is what the authors of the article are arguing for) is worthless.

I do indeed believe that. Can you provide an argument for why it is not morally neutral?
- jrmg 3y agoI think I agree with your first point about actively seeking diversity being worthless in the abstract. In a world of biased people, though, it can be a way to act against unfair bias. Biased people tend to lose their bias when they become friends with people from the groups they are biased against. Actively _avoiding_ diversity, though, which it seems you find to be morally neutral, I find to be morally negative. The shape (or in the real world, e.g. race) of an individual is a superficial attribute. It is extremely unfair to judge someone by it.
