About a year ago I saw a short segment on "Diversity" in IT. Not too surprisingly the manager being interviewed described "Diversity" as a strength and gave an example of a black IT worker being able to solve some problem. 

The only thing was, as I was listening to this, I thought, 'Yeah, that's pretty much what any competent systems analyst would do to solve this problem.' And there are a lot of things you do in IT that are simply 'problem solving', such as debugging a report to determine why a number in a report is wrong. And regardless of what your background is, you'd probably go through the same steps. 

It is when the 'Diversity Advocates' start pushing the party line to the point where it starts sounding suspect that I get turned off.
