A personal anecdote relevant to this point: at a previous temp job, I was responsible for helping to organise the interviews to find my eventual full-time replacement, and one of the interview questions was about the candidate's experiences with diversity.

This isn't to say the person they hired wasn't competent - I wasn't privy to the interviews themselves, so I can't speak to that aspect of things. I also think it's important that my manager acknowledged the problem once I pointed it out, however belatedly.

But, yeah: we need to collectively rethink those 'commitment to diversity' questions, because in so many contexts, they're premised on diversity as something the candidate should *encourage* but not *possess*, which is antithetical to the desired outcome. FIN
