Diversity is just a statistic, it's neither good or bad in either direction.

Not all forms of diversity is strength.

Mixing a wolf with a bunch of sheep isn't diversity, it's dinner time.

At least you'll admit that your ideas are extreme. That false equivalence does nothing to rebut the bell curve.
