It’s not that people are against diversity and inclusion.

It’s that they are against the insincere and awkwardly forced pushes for diversity and inclusion by companies. Forcing behaviors and pushing insincerity leads to noncompliance and resentment.

The best type of diversity is, and always will be, organic.

And when organic processes produce no diversity, what then? Throw our hands up and call it insincerity on the part of anyone who decries the situation?

[tediousdemise]

Force them at gunpoint, obviously.

Jokes aside, the answer to that question is highly circumstantial. If you live in a very culturally/racially/ethnically homogeneous area, there probably won’t be much of a push for diversity because the place isn’t diverse by nature.

Lack of diversity is not the problem that western society, namely the US, would have you believe.

What a crock. I don't mean to play identity politics but I can't imagine someone who isn't a white man saying this. I've never seen a tech team with a reasonable gender split, and I can assure you no one is living in a genderally homogenous area.

Lack of diversity is a humungous problem in western society, and while I agree the place to address that may not be a company trying to execute merit-based hiring, it's clear if an entire system outputs only one category of person as successful, that system has deep biases and would be ripe for improvement by including other categories of person.
