Oh by native I mean indigenous, I’d just say Indian but I’m not allowed to call myself that anymore without issues from the PC people telling me how ashamed of myself I should feel. I always forget the acceptable term to refer to myself by.

I kind of get it but I just call that hiring people with experience.

Like I do get hired because I’ve done a whole bunch of different roles and have actual diversity I’m not just a Java programmer with 20 years of experience making login forms.

Also having done a lot of things I usually have an interesting non-work story to tell.

I find that kind of diversity hugely valuable. I find hiring people because they check a diversity box dumb and bigoted.

Well yeah, mostly.

The worst-case scenario is a bunch of people with different ethnicity, religious affiliation/experience, gender identity, age, etc. etc. ... who all like the same entertainment, food, clothing and vacation options. "Diversity" ... yes. But actual diversity, no.

However, I'm not sure that this actually a real-world problem.
