The quest to represent everyone equally will have a negative effect on the future for all of us.

By actively looking to balance out race in the workplace, or hiring a certain gender here or someone who represents lgbt there then you are overlooking other, possibly more skilled people based on their gender, race, sexuality. Just seems odd.

Just be open for everyone and hire who the best person is. If that's 5 old white guys or 6 black lesbians then so be it.
