Subject: Re: What he said
It seems common in society today to confuse diversity of thought with diversity of immutable traits.

Doesn't it seem a bit naive and frankly divisive to assume that just because someone has, for example, a different skin color, that they must think differently?

Ultimately, the benefit diversity brings to a company boils down to one thing: diversity of thought and ideas.

And if the best a company can do to ferret out diversity of thought in potential applicants is to rely on immutable traits, well, that seems like a pretty sad state of affairs.

Of course, this assumes the goal is in fact achieving diversity of thought rather than a ham-fisted, broad brush attempt to right past wrongs. I'm not convinced it is.
