Diversity for diversity sake

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/the-d...-high-schools/

I'm friggin sick and tired by "sanctioned-racism" article like this one..

I get good at my chosen lifetime discipline by hours and years of practice, dedication, and investment of time, finances, and effort...not by flaunting diversity.

I understand the unique learning experience that diversity brings. However, when certain groups excel more than other because they work their butt off day and night, the guilt-tripping over "not diverse enough" is simply backward thinking.

What your take on this as an educator, Richard?
