I'm extrapolating here, but effectively you're arguing that diversity initiatives don't provide any value because everyone lives a unique life?



That’s not something I agree with at all. What was said was

> in the minority when compared against the overall make-up of the position's peers

What I am saying is that a company is using skin color or sexual orientation as the basis for knowing this is doing it wrong. Yes, I believe being different from your peers makes you a better hire. But that’s what you gain from the interview, not what is gained from the observation of someone’s appearance (diversity scorecard).
