Could not be further from the truth.
Equal opportunity would be better suited bc the strong hands prevail and the weak hands get shaken out regardless of color and socioeconomic background. Building a team should consist of the brightest minds, not a rainbow of colors.

Fully agree from a practical standpoint. But specifically looking for consensus among the Founding Fathers in order to demonstrate that the 'diversity is our strength' is not an original pillar of this country. I have no doubt it is there, just can't pinpoint exactly

I’ll expand upon that. This isn’t a cynical “we’re fricked the dems are evil” statement: Democrats only care about diversity on the surface, skin color, gender, sexual orientation. Diversity is irrelevant at that point. What is detrimental is assuming different skin color means diversity of ideas or background. I’m a white guy and I have infinitely more in common with Tim Scott, culturally, than I do with an average white guy from Denmark. Democrats will not see it that way. It’s all about color.
Diversity of ideas is a strength. Diversity of values is a weakness. We’re in a culture where we’re force fed these ideas that all cultures are beautiful and should be maintained no matter what country they don’t assimilate to, that’s when problems arise. We’ve been told “America is a melting pot” but with no assimilation it turns into a salad and if it sits long enough it starts to taste really bad.
