What evidence do you base this thesis on? Do you have examples of say, successful and racially diverse companies?
"Have to" be represented sounds like it's a chore. There are many ways that people can be diverse, I wouldn't see the need to "stop". But if I had to think of a list I guess it would include:
Age
Race, gender and sexuality*
Nationality and/or experience being the Other
Favorite programming language
Economic background
Religious background
Languages spoken
Regional identity
Personality
Fashion, in a broad non-prescriptive sense
Promises vs. callbacks
I spend way, way, way more time working with my colleagues than I do directly determining the makeup of my firm. But I hold the thesis that diversity and success (particularly creative success) are correlated, and apply that thesis in deciding where to live and work.
* Particularly in the way that everybody forms their own person out of their genetics/biology and the surrounding society.
