It is repeated all over the place but its not true. Talent and intellectual diversity doesn't come from skin color. "Region X needs more people of skin color Y" is always nonsense.

I don't know whether their take is the generic "diversity is always good" nonsense or whether they specifically referred to PoC as cheap immigrant labor that will help the economy and make locals richer (as that in practice is their role in Germany and most other rich countries).

Germany is very different from most western countries (Canada, Australia, US, UK, etc) in that most immigration there is not highly skilled professionals.

It is harder to learn how to better integrate minorities if all the minorities have left.
