>I have never seen a culturally homogenous business succeed in the long term This is a confusing statement. Of course, most successful businesses historically have been culturally homogenous, not necessarily because their biases kept out "others", but because there were very few "others" to keep out. Even if we ignore the cases of segregation (explicit or systemic), this is just generally true of groups of humans that work together - not just successful businesses, and not just businesses. People who didn't have similar goals, attitudes, values, or whatever, were generally either physically absent from the region, or simply were not interested in the group. The world was - and a chunk of the world still is - homogeneous in this way. I.e. even if we oversimplify and say yes, "diversity" is purely good, it still seems patently wrong to assert something so extreme as implying that a successful organization of humans who are culturally similar is rare. It feels like I'm missing some additional qualifiers that you're leaving implicit.
