I see diversity (appearance) as a signaling tactic, and it's not always bad. For example, I'm looking for a friendly kickboxing gym. I scroll through photos of various gyms and if I see a wall of tough looking men, I, a fellow man, am intimidated. If I see some women sprinkled in there, I think hey maybe this place is open and friendly and they won't punch my face off. Same could apply to jobs. Of course we do want diversity of thought and experience but that's harder to measure upfront.
