>I did not interpret what Kevin was saying like that at all but I can understand how you would take it the wrong way. I think that he was referring to affirmative action. If you force diversity on the country without any regard to how capable the individual is, you won't wind up with the most qualified person.

There is more to it than affirmative action or even capabilities.

Different people have different goals.
Different groups have different tendencies in their likes and dislikes.

You can't force more men to be florists to fill a quota.
You can't force more women to be assembly mechanics to fill a quota.
Been there, done that.
No matter that HR is strongly telling you to be more "diverse" and hire under-represented groups.
Been there done that.

People looking for a job want to do what they want to do, not what you want them to do.
