Of course "diversity" policies don't make companies fairer. Treating people differently because of bodily attributes is fundamentally unfair.

And I don't oppose this stuff because I feel threatened. I oppose it because chopping up humanity according to notions of supposed ethnicity is barbaric, and we're in the process of getting over it, even if some people will have to be dragged along.

And then it turned out if you have chinese, inidian, white eastern european and white american employees it's still not diverse enough!

I find your comment offensive and unsettling. My people were discriminated and persecuted because of their ethnicity. If things have gone worse we could have been wiped out of existence.

What you're basically saying is that it wouldn't be a big deal, because all people are interchangeable. Who cares if some ethnic group goes extinct, just replace them with someone else, because a human is a human, right?
