Diversity is Nonsense

Diversity... is nonsense.

Great leaders do NOT demand 'diversity', They demand excellence. They don't give a damn what color, nationality, gender, or religion is claimed by their workers and staff. They simply want excellence, and are willing to provide their people with the tools and resources necessary to achieve that end.

Great leaders understand that how something LOOKS to some leftist who purports to care about that garbage is NOT as important as producing results. Period. Humanity has managed to produce great leaders throughout its history who NEVER gave a moment's thought to idiotic concepts like "diversity" -- and we remember them and their achievements anyway.

Can one of you fathom General George Patton, at the Battle of the Bulge, checking to make sure he had a proper mix of Protestants, Jews, and Episcopalians in his attack brigade?? We can scroll down the list of such great leaders, and we will find that NONE of them cared about this nonsense. Golda Meir, Nelson Mandela, Teddy Roosevelt, even MOSES -- the list is endless. Did Moses check and make sure he had the requisite number of Egyptians before leaving Egypt?

"Diversity" is a politically-correct buzzword to make leftist white people who feel guilty about their skin tone FEEL better about themselves, while accomplishing absolutely nothing. It FEELS good to pontificate from on high that YOU know better than someone else how many Chinese immigrants ought to be on their team -- and how they should be deployed; or how many women, or how many blacks, or how many one-legged atheists with psoriasis, and so on... It's a neat scam, because it never ends! A great leader knows this, and doesn't care. All they care about is excellence, and whomever will help them achieve excellence will always have a place on their team.

If the best person for the job is a woman, hire her.
If the best person for the job has dark skin, hire them.
If the best person for the job is in a wheelchair, hire them.
If the best person for the job is homosexual, hire them.

You can never go wrong by hiring the best-qualified person for the job, without thought or weight given to all of the myriad 'outside' factors that the left insists are important.

We have known this since humans first roamed the Earth, and in the name of political correctness, we have insisted on forgetting it.
