Please. "No true Scotsman" is not even worth the time.

It is a current left wing argument in the United States for "diversity".

"Diversity" meaning, of course government-regulated and -enforced <identity criterion of your choice> quotas even in private businesses.

which is odd, because diverse groups are more efficient. you'd think it'd be a hardcore capitalist argument.

Diversity of thought - of which google is now less of.

"I think half of this group should not be allowed in here because of their biology" is not a diverse thought, it's a dangerous one that doesn't need to be entertained yet again (Eugenics, etc etc)

You switched your argument from one comment to another; it's unclear what your position is.

my position is very simple: sheep don't need to hear a wolf out. there is nothing to discuss.

Diversity of genetics is not the same as diversity of thought. The word is being equivocated from one context into the other.

It is an old argument that one's ethnicity determines one's personality. I can't say one that I support.
