Fair enough, diversity is not any kind of guarantee. But as far as I saw, and as far as I can think, it lowers tension a lot more than talent and skill (in corporate world anyway, where it's less about speed than meeting, egos, specification, long design phases, extra time, etc.). I mean, just spending 10 hours a day for months without ever seeing a girl, it's a little bit strange, isn't it ? Lot of people with talent I saw tend to be angry and stubborn, it also good to have followers, lesser talent eager to learn. Diversity is also about profiles.

Seems to me that you're saying that minorities and women are more humble than white males. I mean why else would you say that diversity lowers tension more?

No, I'm saying that I've seen young male only teams, and I felt I was working with inmates in a prison in term of relationship. A lot of people tend to talk more politely to women, for example (in offices, when equal). I'm also saying that the fact just not to have any women is a little depressing as a man. That's what I thought when I was the white male majority, and I still think that way being currently the white minority in Japan. And I'm not specially humble ;)
