Aside from the fact that there's a greater over-all talent pool because there are more people in the talent pool, do you think similarly situated companies with similar talent levels will do better merely as a function of having greater diversity?

Are there any controlled studies of this question that you know of?

Asking to ask, not to mock.
Harvard Business School thinks so:

"Research shows a consistent correlation between diverse leadership and stronger financial performance for companies. For example, companies in the top quartile of gender diversity on executive teams were 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability than peer companies in the bottom quartile – and this premium is increasing over time. In terms of ethnic and cultural diversity, the effect is even stronger: Top-quartile companies were 36% more likely to outperform bottom-quartile ones in return on equity."

Amy Chua in her studies of "hyperpowers" argues that diversity is a requirement for top powers in geopolitics.

Our “Diversity Matters” research looked at the relationship between the level of diversity (defined as a greater share
of women and a more mixed ethnic/racial composition in the leadership of large companies) and company financial
performance (measured as average EBIT 2010–2013). The research is based on financial data and leadership
demographics compiled for this purpose from hundreds of organisations and thousands of executives in the
United Kingdom, Canada, Latin America, and the United States. The size of the dataset allows for results that are
statistically significant and the analysis is the first that we are aware of that measures how much the relationship
between diversity and performance is worth in terms of increased profitability.
The analysis found a statistically significant relationship between a more diverse leadership team and better
financial performance


Lol I was going to respond to sh76 with some of these examples but well done. Research supports the premise that diversity is healthy and productive in society, education and business.

“but to deny it was a crime against humanity and even to bar children from learning about it because it might upset the little white princes and princesses is racist because it denies black children of a massive and pertinent truth about their history in order for racist white parents not to have to answer any awkward questions.”

here is the problem with your argum ...[text shortened]... black history (slavery). The issue here is (teaching black queer theory)…why would you be for that?

“ where the schools are actively trying to make your kids feel like crap because of their whiteness”

It’s literally just occurred to me that guilt is there for a reason and the lack of guilt is an indicator of sociopathy 🤷🏻‍♂️ The whole of the US should surely feel some pang of guilt about slavery and it’s aftermath, it’s how we know we’ve done something wrong.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

South Florida is growing so fast as an Orthodox Jewish enclave that it might eclipse Jew York City in the next decade or two (assuming Ocean County, NJ, is not included as JYC).

Florida...isn't that where old Jews go to die?

In the past, perhaps.

Now, SoFla communities are exploding for all ages.

Personally, I can't stand the South Florida weather, but people seem to like it for some reason that baffles me.

Went to Miami twice in Decembers for Giants-Dolphins games; it was 75 to 80 degrees.

December to February, sure. Maybe even November and March also.

It's the rest of the year that's impossible to deal with.

You even been to Miami in July? It's like being a sauna with your clothes on.

just gotta be that way doesnt it?

They should leave those courses as 'optional', IMO. But I seriously doubt that the History texts have been stripped
of the slavery issues just because they are removing African American studies. Two different issues.
