I know this topic has been beaten to death, but the shallow symbolic form Diversity takes in practice (college recruiting photos) confirms it's merely political. Here are a few forms of "real diversity" I have run into that you will never see initiatives for at big tech, and it would not necessarily be taboo to publicly discriminate against them: - Number of siblings - Asian ethnic minorities (Miao, etc) - Discriminated indian castes - Parents vs childless - University degrees - American 19th century religions (JW, Mormon, 7th day adventists, etc) - Military experience - experience in manual labor jobs - Sunni and Shia Muslims - Russian ethnic distinctions (russkiye vs rossiyane) Obviously we can't create programs for every possible form of identity. But you can look at 2 asian men and say there isn't any diversity, when actually their life experiences couldn't be more different. Similarly, you can have all the skin colors in a room, but if they are all upper middle class, secular humanists, from the same handful of Universities, they aren't bringing new perspectives.
