There's barely any non-white workforce available where i live and we operate. I stand by my question being perfectly valid, what does a diverse workforce that doesn't deliver software to the globe do better than one that isn't diverse? If the answer is as you're suggesting: that we're missing out on competent workforce because we're racist, then I don't see the importance in a diverse workforce, but rather importance in not being racist and hiring whoever's best. I'm not tasked with reqruitment, but I don't believe my colleagues responsible for this are racist. And we're short on people right now so if we had a !whitemale presenting himself with a skillset we need, we'd hire him/her in an instant I'm sure.
