I do not have any... 30 years of work at a large corporation where HR pushed diversity for diversity sake every year.
Sales. I have a number of clients who have hired one or two minority / female salespeople and assigned them to accounts with minority or female decision makers.
Fact is, customers like to buy from salespeople they can relate to, and that includes salespeople that look like them.
Every client that has done this, has seen sales increase from minority/female decision-makers.

It helps on the athletic fields
This is a good point. Why don't NBA teams fire half of those black players and replace them with a more diverse group? I'm sure the first team that figures this out will win multiple championships.

Currently working with an Indian engineer on a project that saved the client $400k annually
Did the Indian engineer use something besides Newtonian physics. Anyway you know very well that "Indian engineers" is not what this diversity shite is all about. No one needs affirmative action to get lots of Indian engineers.

I used to work for a manufacturer in NOLA. We made jewelry and sculpture. Most of our jewelry workers were Vietnamese, while most of our sculptors were white hipsters. The jobs were broadly similar, working at a bench, making one piece at a time, etc. The Vietnamese brought experience & expertise with jewelry, and the hipsters brought the same for the art market. If we'd had to choose one or the other, we'd have survived, but our productivity was much higher with two ethnic groups as opposed to one.
You just made the OP's point without realizing it. Those are 2 different trades/jobs. If you had told the Koreans they had to hire some of the hipsters to help, what would happen? And likewise if you made the hipsters hire the Koreans???

In 1947 the all-white St Louis Cardinals Baseball franchise sold for $3.5 million. Adjusted for inflation, that's around $29 million in 2020.
The estimated present-day value of the integrated franchise is around $2 billion smackaroos.
Causation does not equal correlation.
Besides, how many of those players were hired strictly for the color of their skin? Maybe they were hired, now just hear me out, because they had the best bat or glove for their position? Crazy thought, I know.

As it turned out, it became difficult to hire women and/or minorities because we didn't have any on staff already
Why would you “need” women or minorities anyway?
Offer the best people. If they don’t want to work there, that’s on them.
Don’t lower standards for the sake of being “diverse”.
All you’ll do is open yourself up for a discrimination lawsuit.

Diversity hasn't been a thing for 30 years. It used to be hire the best person for the job. Not true anymore.
