We have seen many negative comments on this board about diversity in the workplace. I can only surmise the demographic that is angry here with that terminology. A large portion of people are angry that others are being given a chance to succeed at what many feel is solely their company.
But you need to come to the realization that we are in a new world now. One in which the doors have been opened for many different types of qualified individuals, from all types of racial, national and gender backgrounds.
This type of work environment once had a dominant white-male culture. With changing demographics it's only appropriate that the workplace be representative of society in general.
We should all welcome the changing of the guard, and to come to the realization that there are all types of people, that bring with them, an endless supply of talent.
They also bring with them much more relevant and current skill-sets to the table now.
