When did diversity of color become more important than diversity of thought?

What's the inherent benefits of having diversity of color pertaining to a workplace, school, etc? Is an asian's student life enriched by sitting by a black student in class? Vice versa?

MLK must be rolling over in his grave. BLM wants to be judged/held to different standards by their skin, and not the content of their character.

Diversity of color is a physical manifestation of how one's empathy and progressiveness is perceived these days. It's based on emotion just like all other liberal causes.
It's also funny how it has progressed to the point where minority populations have to be over-represented in these groups, i.e. blacks have to be represented 40% or higher despite being 13% of the population.

Diversity of thought is valuable in corporate America.
Diversity of color is useless. It's the goal of politicians. I believe it has been billed to the rest of us as "diversity of thought" but it usually means the opposite at best. At worse, it's a means to discriminate.
"Minorities strongly encouraged to apply". We know what that really means.

When democrats realized they could lock up an entire demographic to help them during elections.

If you brought someone here from a random country, made them watch American TV for a day and asked what % of the country they thought was black, they'd say easily 40-50%.

Because people are dumb. What they see with their eyes is their reality.
5 white guys who all have different backgrounds, experiences, thought processes and learning styles look less diverse than 5 people of mixed race and gender who think exactly alike.
And it's not just a liberal problem. Corporate America has bowed down to this simplistic thought process and it's slowly eroding the foundation of the American work force - which is creativity.

When people quit thinking. There's a theory that the internet has slowed down human beings learning process and ability to use rational thought. This would be a good example in backing that theory up I would suppose.

Very true.

Schools as well. The LSAT/MCAT/GMAT scores that minorities have to get to get into average or better schools is embarrassing.

Diversity of culture leads to diversity of thought.
Diversity of color is often mistaken for diversity of culture. Different backgrounds create different cultures. In 2016, different colors aren't necessarily from different backgrounds.

They'd probably say 1 in 3 people are gay too

Yep.
I have a very close friend who is half Asian, half Hispanic... I asked him which box he checks when he's filling out paperwork. His hilarious, and yet very poignant response was "That depends on whether I'm trying to get a scholarship or a job interview."

The path for a white male to make it into a top 20 law, business, med, etc. school is near impossible unless you make near perfect scores and have a ridiculous resume.

I think that's starting to be apparent in the work force, too. Especially in the corporate world. An old guy told me about 15 years ago that the biggest disadvantage to have in the corporate world is to be a white male. I thought he was crazy at the time, when I was in high school. Looking back, it appears he was absolutely right.

A black or hispanic kid with good grades and decent test scores has the sky as the limit. It's a shame rank and file liberals would rather try to tell them that there are no opportunities out there.

So you are saying liberals prop up affirmative action which makes things harder on white males, but they also want to hold minorities down? Wanna make up your mind?

Diversity was the huge buzz word in the 80's for colleges.
People were scrambling to see if they had some hidden Latino part of their family or like Pocahantas to put on their applications because you got brownie points.
That generation of indoctrination then took that out into the adult workplace and society.
But it really started with Universities pushing this as the most important part of the college experience is diversity...
Because they assumed diversity of color = diversity of thought. Yep...typical misguided racist liberal assumptions.
