I think it makes zero difference.  I work with people from all over and from varied backgrounds.  My one co-worker is a conservative white Jewish man who went to religious school and grew up in an incredibly homogeneous environment.  I have another co-worker who grew up in a different country, with solely people of her own ethnic background.  One is a Latina lady who went to exclusively Catholic, all girls’ school.  And one who grew up in NYC, which many would consider to be a diverse city.

Guess what?  It doesn’t make a lick of difference.  Some of them are good workers.  Most of them are kind and respectful.

[b]Simply ‘being’ in a diverse environment doesn’t mean you’ll grow up to be more successful or more tolerant or a better communicator. [/b] It means nothing.

It might make you feel good and feel like you’re so ‘progressive’ to advocate for ‘diversity’ when in reality, it will make ZERO difference.[/quote]

No, it doesn't. It does mean you're used to being in a diverse environment, though. That's not nothing. In fact, it's a lot.[/quote]
