I'm generally opposed to diversity, mostly because it's either pointless, racist, or inefficient. If you're making a movie and you hire an Asian guy solely because he's Asian and not because he's a good actor, you might miss out on better actors and as a result the quality of your movie will suffer. You didn't really gain anything and you may have lost something. In a similar vein of thought, the movement to have "more women in X industry" has always seemed rather daft to me. If women want to join the industry, why won't they? Why do you need to go out of your way specifically to hire women, turning down men who could have done the job you needed doing?
