Diversity for diversity's sake is an empty gesture. Not only that, but diversity for diversities sake is demeaning. I love startups. One of the reason is that when I was in school I despised the political correctness of large, bureaucratic institutions. We exist in a meritocracy, and when success in a startup is already so difficult, anything less than choosing a team based on merit is making an already difficult task damn near impossible.
