I am against diversifying for diversifying's sake. It's something that is 
already way too prevalent in today's society. Let's please pick the best 
person for the job, regardless of race, gender, or whatever, and let's 
especially *not* write letters to others recommending them to do otherwise.

Picking people with the argument of diversity achieves the exact opposite of 
what you want: it leads to people which are *worse* at their job than the 
competitors being selected for it. Thus doing this systematically gives an 
actual, real reason for prejudice against "people with $property in 
$position".

Greetings,
Sven
