#2Good. I've never seen a non-emotional argument for diversity and inclusovity programs.
A company has no need to represent society as a whole, or worse, a duty to equalize societies inequalities.
Any attempt to do so inherently harms as many people as it helps, it just moved the harm to groups unprotected by emotional arguments
