Recently, I’ve done roughly 50 hours of reading and research on “diversity”. And so far, this is the most fascinating article I’ve found: http://ift.tt/1LpKTZ0.
In summary, the author attempts to clearly define “diversity”, and then challenges the assumption (where all "diversity" discussions usually begin) that “diversity is good”. I won't spoil his conclusions. I was even able to contact the author. He said that the paper was not well received (“the response was a gut response, rather than an attempt at logical refutation”). I have since found a few articles (paywalled, so I can't share) that attempted to reasonably refute the paper, but failed (IMO).
This is a sensitive topic which often loses its way due to unchecked emotional responses. I myself am still forming my own ideas and opinions on the topic. But, I’m interested to see what the skeptical community thinks.
So, what say you...?
