Inside a Google Summit on Diversity and Inclusion
14th December 2018
How could any reasonable person oppose diversity and inclusion in the workplace? Answer: Because “diversity and inclusion” in the work context is actually a euphemism for something else.
…
“A desire for equal outcomes among all identity groups, and disadvantaging individuals in overrepresented demographic categories.”
I have yet to see any supporting evidence for the popular proglodyte myth that ‘diversity’ is a strength rather than a weakness. All of the actual studies I’ve seen suggest that working with people who don’t look like you raises questions of trust and coordination rather than otherwise.
