From a social perspective, I'm happier working in a more diverse workplace. And if I'm a happier worker I'm going to be a more effective worker.

I'd think that most people would be in the same boat. We aren't robots that get fed requirements and magically churn out a product at the other end.

I spend 40 hours a week in the office, a good part of that is taken up with meetings and interacting with my colleagues. I don't want to spend all those hours feeling like I'm talking to a clone of myself.

Obviously, on a whole, you shouldn't hire inferior workers all in the name of diversity, but there two people that you'd be happy to hire and one of them would increase diversity in the team, I'd be inclined to pick that one.
