I think their diversity initiatives failed miserable. They created a monoculture that is violently intolerant of diverse viewpoints.

The GP talked about a diversity of viewpoints, but you're talking about diversity of race and sexual identity. At the very least, most persons don't consider race to be a viewpoint.
