"Limit intolerance" or sweep things under the rug? Or just put a band-aid on a wound rather than try to heal it?
No to intolerance! But emphasising diversity may not be the best method. Instead, try to push harder against discrimination.
Can you illustrate exactly what you think the difference is between those things?
Yes. Trying to end discrimination means that nobody is penalised for their skin colour /gender etc. That's different from actively
pushing for more people from 'diverse' bgs through incentives. (Whatever diversity means to you, and it could mean many things.)
Problem with the latter is people can feel resentment that someone has been hired / given an incentive just to make things more 'diverse'.
I'm not 100% against promoting diversity. It can sometimes be a good thing, but it's not the only approach and has to be done carefully.
Diversity is important but diversity of immutable characteristics is probably the least meaningful of all diversities.
