The only value in superficial diversity (the sort of diversity most valued in the West today) is that of a signal: signifying that there isn't any discrimination going on.

Aside from this signaling value, superficial diversity has very little value.

Ironically, as superficial diversity has become an end in itself, we are now encouraged to reduce individuals to their superficial characteristics, this behavior being the very foundation of the bigotry we want to eliminate from society.

Brave people willing to stand up and call out the diversity mafia for what it is - a bunch of well meaning but naive advocates for what often amounts to disguised bigotry - is what we need now more than ever.
