"I usually say that diversity is a fact - not something we can really discuss, be for or against. Diversity just is. We humans are different. End of story."

"I'm not referring to biological differences at all, because they are so small and insignificant that it is anti-intellectual to talk about them at all. Biology can affect things that are outwardly visible, such as skin pigment or hair color and texture/quality and the like, but it has nothing to do with what different peoples are like. So what I mean when I talk about people being different is that we are qualitatively different. We have different experiences, horizons of understanding, habits, traditions and so on. To strive for some kind of homogeneity in society in terms of who we are is pure utopia. On the other hand, something we can and should do is to strive for diversity in all spaces and arenas of society. That is, to create a representation where the undeniable diversity of society is also reflected in all our organizations, not least in various management groups and boards. However, this is often easier said than done. Why is this so? The reason is the power structures that societies are generally built around. In Sweden and the rest of the Euro-American world, it is particularly about the whiteness norm as the dominant power structure." Read the full story here.
