Focus on diversity of perspective as opposed to superficial diversity. For example, a second generation Taiwanese American can bring a very different perspective from that of a Taiwanese immigrant. The latter is more likely to bring something unique to the table.

Fully agree. Deep diversity is better than superficial diversity.
But if you’re starting from a position with almost no diversity even seemingly “superficial” measures can help you move forward. You can’t turn around and tick a box and say “well that’s diversity taken care of!” But it’s a step on the journey.
(And the journey isn’t “being diverse” it’s “making good things that aren’t accidentally riddled with blind sides”)
i just wanted to save this here. good point.
Fortunately, HN has a feature to allow you to do that without polluting threads with useless comments: just click on the "timestamp" of the comment (next to the username) and then click on "favorite".
In the future, you can view all of your "favorite" comments from your profile page (click on your username in the top-rigtht of the page). As an added bonus, it's much easier than having to sift through your own comments to find that one specific thread you're looking for.
