Diversity on most commonly selected metrics barely does a thing as far as empirical evidence goes.
The metrics that really matter aren't actively selected for. At best they are a byproduct. More often than not, the teams willing to be open about hiring gain their benefits over being open and cooperative rather than their diversity hires magically boosting things.
But by all means, let's continue to be reductionist by stereotyping 'le weird white young male' group.
