“Am I diverse hire” == “do I check the ‘diversity’ box when these things are being counted”

What exactly is diversity anyway? For instance, me: 1/2 Mexican. Dad grew up picking cotton. Great aunts sister in law married Caesar Chavez. And yet, grew up with a computer, and access to tech, university, etc. Am I a diverse hire?

Don’t put your email/slack/etc on your phone. Get a hobby that doesn’t involve a keyboard. Go fishing, learn to work on a car, paint, fix your house. Whatever, just do something that doesn’t need you typing.
