Software company Atlassian moves "beyond diversity" | Doesn't want to imply "people from a majority group don't count" and says "...a team where the majority are women - that's an imbalance"
I respect the skepticism, and I may be misunderstanding you, but I don't think there's anything wrong with diversity. It should be one of many factors guiding a company. A true meritocracy is never possible, given biases. It's when companies start doggedly pursuing quotas that harm is done, and Atlassian is coming out saying just that.
