Well as far as sites go, I think the biggest disadvantage is not focusing on English first rather than the local language.

But then there's companies like Nintendo and Sony that are globally successful in spite of their lack of diversity.

> Nintendo

Most of Nintendo's failings in the past can actually be traced to where they refused to innovate simply because they followed the Japanese business culture too strictly (where, if your boss tells you to do something, you do it. Otherwise, you don't. And so on). If they had a diversity of ideas, they would likely not be in so much trouble right now.

I am not defending AA, the racial/gender/whichever thing; I'm not talking about that right now. This is simply about the diversity of ideas.
