Re: Diversity should be a consequence, not a goal.
Don't put your political bias into it. Conservatives don't care about identity politics other than it causes a bunch of unnecessary trouble. I'm incredibly conservative and have never had an issue working with, or even for, women. Sex, race, religon, none of that matters. Ability to do the job, on the other hand... We Conservatives do take great issue with being saddled wiyh diversity hires who were hired soley for checking a box, and that box was not "being able to do the job." And before you say it, if they can be taught to do the job, there's no problem.
