“Diversity is good at a buffet.

In countries, not so much.”

That is true, but why is it true? Answering that question will tell you what’s wrong with the “diversity is our strength” bumper sticker.

Diversity is also good in availability of car colors, sizes, types etc.

The reason for that is because people don’t agree on what color or size is best. There is no best color or size. People’s choice depends on their needs or wants.

But is diversity good in, say, choosing a doctor? No. Any sane person would want the BEST doctor, they couldn’t care less about his height, hair color or skin color.

So diversity is good when the thing in question has no objective quality. It cannot be ranked from worst to best, such as car color. Diversity is bad when the thing in question CAN objectively ranked from worst to best, such as doctors, or mechanics, or teachers.

So the general rule is that diversity is good for those things that cannot be objectively ranked on quality. It is bad for things that can objectively be ranked on quality.

Never thought of it this way.

So for simplicity sake it appears that when diversity refers to the inanimate, it is good, but humans don’t fit the narrative. I have a t-shirt with numerous pistols depicted on it and the statement “Celebrate Diversity”.

Not smart enough to look at the potential outside of the simplistic so an appeal to those forward thinking individuals who can see the fallacies in the simplistic approach if any.
