A lot of these programs can be summed up with simple rules and processes.
Ensure diversity in the hiring pipeline, treat everyone with respect, check your biases.

Fundamentally there's no way to engage in any diversity initiatives of any kind that don't require disrespecting people or outright discriminating against them. Which is why DIE needs to die.
And so what if we are mixed-race? What if we are a quarter white? Do we really want to go down this rabbit hole of racial politics? This is exactly what the Nazis did...as did slave-owning Southerners. Maybe in the long run it's better if we just... keep race out of the question, and treat people like _individuals_.
Anyway, I hope that doesn't sound too argumentative or bombastic. I just horribly hate the idea of being tossed into a "racial category" by someone that doesn't know me, my family history, etc.
