Well first off, when I meet and like people and therefore come to the conclusion I want to be friends with them, it has nothing to do with race or gender. I&#x27;m a white male, may of my friends are female, black, Indian, Asian, Hispanic... and I think, at least in the younger generation (teens - ~ 35 years old) this is generally the case. Unless their parents enforced some crazy ideals in the poor child. For the record, most of my best friends have been girls of different races.<p>Second, I view partnerships in business as a marriage. It is CRITICAL that I like the person, or it simply will not work. Has NOTHING to do with race or gender.<p>This is something you simply cannot just generalize across people. Also, having diversity for the sake of diversity is the wrong way to look at things. Yes, you can be diverse with an all white male team. People come from different backgrounds, different parts of the world, etc. Diversity should not just mean race and gender, that&#x27;s ignorant and really consist of people just spitting out political correctness.
