So you went to college in the last 10 years or worked for a major corporation and in those institutions they did not try and tell you diversity of ideas is a good thing? I don't believe you.

That is why people are in favor of diversity.
Surrounding yourself with different colored people who all are flaming liberals isn't diversity. And ACTIVELY WEEDING out non conforming thinke4rs while paying exclusive attention to counting colors is NOT valuing diversity.
You can pay lip service to it all you want, but the ACTIONS speak much louder.
So, I say again. I've not met a single soul who harps on diversity that would call Clarence Thomas, Ted Cruz and Ann Coulter a diverse room.........but they'd happily call Obama, Hillary and Sotomayor a diverse room.

Like I said, I'm not talking about diversity of race. Diversity of culture leads to diversity of thought which leads to diversity of ideas.

They don't want diversity of ideas. What a ludicrous thought for liberals. They want surface diversity, and homogeneous ideology.
Look what they do when diversity of ideology leads to Trump winning the election.

Yes, Trump could make his entire cabinet out of black men like Ben Carson, Herman Cain, and David Clarke and not a single person would give him the benefit of diversity, because those are conservative blacks. They don't count.
Just like there are no "people of color" rejoicing the cabinet picks in the OP. Even the story linked mentions all the white men he has already nominated.

Leads to conflict is another way of saying that.

If someone comes from a different culture, they will likely have different ideas. Culture is shaped from nationality, where you live, your family, even gender plays a part in how you think and act.
So, you just said that there can be diversity among an all white group that comes from different backgrounds. Nice!

Lol of course there can be. Anyone who argues against that either doesn't understand what diversity is or is a racist.

What percentage for the transgender class? Can you have .1% of a person? The left has given a voice to segments of society that are so minuscule it's absurd. What's next the bearded women at carnivals also need a voice in American Politics?
Oh I'm in agreement with you. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous what they are asking for is.
