These things don't pay though. People care about diversity only where it pays.
If comp sci. was still seen as a thing for nerds with skin issues that don't get a lot of money you can bet there would be no "diversity" thing going on.
There should be no such thing. Instead of trying to bend ethics I'd rather make sure any one, from any skin color, gender, place of birth, etc. can do anything they want. THAT would be diversity.
The truth is that today what you can do with your life depends a LOT more on your place of birth than your skin color or gender.
