India & China make up 35% of the entire worlds population. A fair system will admit a lot more people from those countries than others simply because there have more people.

The goal of the caps is diversity of immigrants. Making the system "fair" for countries like India and China is not the goal.

Do you know that India is more than in languages, cuisine, culture and history than whole of Western Europe. Just because they have common passport, doesn't mean that they are any less diverse.

If whole of Europe gets a single EU passport, does it suddenly make them any less diverse?

Its hilarious how "diversity" is supposed to be about thinking beyond race/nationality/skin color, yet the measure of diversity is how many different races/nationalities/skin colors you can collect.

If race does not matter, then why does "diverse" mean as many races as possible. Shouldn't it mean diversity of thought instead? If nationality does not affect personality, then why should diversity be about diversity of nations?

That’s why the system can’t be “fair”. Someone in the system is always going to be slighted.
