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.

I believe this is the only video I've saved just for the appreciation of the comment section.

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!

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.
