Why "not supposed" to say out loud? Sounds simply as a problem of the only X on a team of Ys. Cultural (and other) differences can be hard, it is just a fact of life.

Think of it as being in the shoes of a lonely non-American in the country of Americans, if that is any consolation.

Therefore you are saying that having diversity leads to bullying and that you’re ok with that.

It’s always the goal, after all.

That’s actually the opposite of what they’re saying. Lack of diversity leads to bullying.

In corporate and academic America diversity unofficially means not majority white. Further, you're not supposed to acknowledge any sort of ingroup bias of any nonwhite racial group

It isn’t the “opposite” because this isn’t a binary situation. There is a spectrum. If the group members were all from the same place it wouldn’t be an issue either. If everyone is from different places it isn’t an issue. If many are from one place and some aren’t, then it is an issue.
