Another facet of superficial diversity is that it tends to focus on appearance, nationality, gender, race, identity, etc. Real diversity is about personality, perspective and opinion. Just because people look different doesn't mean they are different. As is often cited against racism: variance within a population is generally greater than variance between populations. Let's treat each other as the individuals we are.

"Celebrating diversity" doesn't mean you need to fire off firecrackers and jump up and down whenever a person of color or a member of a minority group makes it big. It means that you need to be more accepting of the differences and embrace the new perspectives that people from different backgrounds bring to the table.

@do br where I work, we do not have any diversity hires, but yet we still have blacks, Asians, women, all that stuff, and nobody resents each other because everyone was hired based on merit, not some quota system to overcome some perceived oppression....hard work in both education and the work place will pay dividends in the long run, diversity hiring is just a short term fix and often sets people up to fail. Quit playing the "faced obstacles" and "you white people" victim card and try to make something of yourself and not have it handed it to you.

Diversity itself is quite beneficial for a company and a worthwhile endeavor to work toward. it should be woven into the fabric of the company, the same way other aspects like Management and Marketing are. The problem arises when people hire *just* to meet corporate quotas. Its not that people shouldn't hire for skills, they absolutely should. Its about not letting personal biases get in the way of recruiting the best candidate, and making sure that candidate gets treated with the same respect and gets the resources they need, just like everyone else.

It's much easier instead for them to look at a lineup of candidates and assume that anyone who isn't white, or who isn't male automatically has different ideas or experience. In a way, it's kind of the most presumptive concept out there - just because someone looks different, they must act and think differently. seems it's all about what's on the outside, not what's on the inside ... because it's much easier to measure appearances than thoughts and experiences!

No, it's worse than that. The employees would hear Martian; they tune out diversityspeak coming from people whose readership they can't respect. I'm not a graduate student.

Could we have put a man on the moon if NASA was forced to have a statistically diverse team?

For those who benefit from the oppression of others and are blind to how it impacts them daily all their lives, equality feels like oppression. Welcome to this comments section.

Oh please, get the chip off your shoulder. You're not oppressed, you insult and degrade the people on this planet who actually are. You benefit immensely from the work and support of men, and vice versa. A lot of what you take for granted, you are blessed with by men. Have a little humility.

Is it just me, or does this comments section seem bizarre...? These comments seem like they all came from people who didn't watch the video. They feel completely divorced from the meat of Mahdawi's argument. Bummer cause I was looking forward to reading what real life people actually thought about this talk.

It's a touchy subject where people may have had experience with diversity bias. It's a real problem

why does she not talk about the root of problem here? she is talking about superficious solutions that will cover up an infected wound that will still rot under the healthy surface - the problem start with the very young age of every human being and we need to start treating this diverity problem there. she is talking about producvtivity, it is nothing about diversity, this depends on the individual's level of discipline and education. I'm a minority, I'm working twice harder than any white colleague, that does not means our team is 41 or whatever % more efficient.
