So the school wanted diversity so they called him for an interview, but they hired him even though he was white. Yeah I don't buy that.

  Maybe he didn't interview in person? Not everyone feels the need to physically meet someone before hiring them. What does it really say about us, that we so deeply feel the need to see someone before hiring them? It's not like their credentials change with visual contact.

    Your statement is ironic considering the school's purported reason for taking in his application.

  He makes the point that the school did indeed 'get diversity' - his upbringing is quite far outside the mainstream. Diversity is not exclusively furthered by hiring people with dark skin.

    For various meanings of diversity different from the canonical meaning that applies here, sure.
