        I propose we scale down a bit. Suppose you run a business, which will you prefer? A diverse or a homogenous staff?

        Staff with homogeneous culture that would drive success. Business doesn't exist to experiment with "Diversity". #CultureMatters

        Indeed #culturematters. Big orgs use their diversity to build culture. It is not by ethnic ties nor by race, but by a set of shared values
