Another facet of superficial diversity is that it tends to focus on appearance, nationality, gender, race, identity, etc. Real diversity is about personality, perspective and opinion. Just because people look different doesn't mean they are different. As is often cited against racism: variance within a population is generally greater than variance between populations. Let's treat each other as the individuals we are.
But those "superficial" traits are the things that racism, discrimination, and exclusion are usually based on. Hiring an all-white workforce who just have different personalities isn't diversity.

The issue starts with people believing it’s only about skin color, when in reality they way you were raised, where you were raised, what culture you were brought up in can or your perspective from the inside of a marginalized group gives a whole other perspective/experience the average white man can & will never experience

@do br where I work, we do not have any diversity hires, but yet we still have blacks, Asians, women, all that stuff, and nobody resents each other because everyone was hired based on merit, not some quota system to overcome some perceived oppression....hard work in both education and the work place will pay dividends in the long run, diversity hiring is just a short term fix and often sets people up to fail. Quit playing the "faced obstacles" and "you white people" victim card and try to make something of yourself and not have it handed it to you.

If diversity was great wouldn't people know to celebrate it?* *I never see a bumper sticker that says chocolate tastes great. Everyone knows chocolate tastes great. You don't need a bumper sticker to tell you something everyone knows.* *The happiest countries on earth have hardly any diversity.*
"Celebrating diversity" doesn't mean you need to fire off firecrackers and jump up and down whenever a person of color or a member of a minority group makes it big. It means that you need to be more accepting of the differences and embrace the new perspectives that people from different backgrounds bring to the table.
People naturally gravitate to those more similar to themselves and avoid those who are different. When forced to be around those who are different, people shut down and turn away from all people. See Robert Putnam's research on how socially and psychologically destructive racial diversity is.

Diversity is not a goal in itself. It's just a state. It should not be pursued explicitly. It should just be accepted and welcomed when it happens organically. Some examples of meaningful goals are tolerance and fairness.
If I were a woman or a 'POC' who landed my dream job these days, I think I'd be privately asking myself if I was just hired for that fact. And I'd be wondering if all my colleagues were thinking the same too.

Nice comments, but could you please introduce us to the elephant standing next to you? Yes...that one. The thing is, diversity is a workplace issue for everyone before the first word is spoken. Companies that don't treat employees fairly, that don't motivate, that have confused goals, that are arrogant towards workers, might as well be speaking Martian when it comes to diversity and inclusion. No, it's worse than that. The employees would hear Martian; they tune out diversityspeak coming from people whose readership they can't respect. I'm not a graduate student. I'm a good service worker, and many of us regard diversity crapolacoming from clueless managers as just so much time out of our lives. Worse,, many of us more of less openly resent it.
Its all relevant, it depends where you work. All the fortune 500 companies that I worked for had more high paying woman managers then man. Diversity is very important in business because the whole world is diverse. At the same time when you should get rid of diversity and just hire for skills.
Diversity itself is quite beneficial for a company and a worthwhile endeavor to work toward. it should be woven into the fabric of the company, the same way other aspects like Management and Marketing are. The problem arises when people hire *just* to meet corporate quotas. Its not that people shouldn't hire for skills, they absolutely should. Its about not letting personal biases get in the way of recruiting the best candidate, and making sure that candidate gets treated with the same respect and gets the resources they need, just like everyone else.
hold on... why is she classifying herself as a three-fer? Why is being a woman a minority? .. .. WHAT?! .. I .. I'm all for diversity and multiculturalism. But the one-upmanship here is through the roof. Women are not a minority. You don't deserve special attention for BEING a minority. Go out and work hard. Be the best YOU that you can be and you will be better for it. Don't make up false hindrances and pretend that you're being held back by something that isn't actually there. Take accountability for your life and decisions and make the best of what you've been given. We don't all get to have what we want. We get what we earn.
Privilege does take an account for what defines success. While I do believe that someone should work hard in order to achieve their goals, hard work doesn't always give you the result you want and the result you want can be given to you and isn't something earned.

They feel completely divorced from the meat of Mahdawi's argument. Bummer cause I was looking forward to reading what real life people actually thought about this talk.
She is either a genius parodying the diversity proponents or utterly dishonest or stupid. 1. companies don't hire in the general population, they hire within the candidate pool. For the most part, the representation in companies reflect the representation in the candidate pool. There is not a 50% representation of women in the candidates for high power positions so you don't get to conclude discrimination. 2. she goes from studies showing companies which HAVE better "diversity" tend to do better to companies which ARE MADE TO have better "diversity" tend to do better. How dishonest can one be? She started well though by pointing out how diversity trainings are boring and superficial. Of course they are! Diversity of appearance over diversity of though and experience is at it's core superficial...
Companies will make hiring decisions that add to their bottom line. That means hiring the best person for the job regardless of race or gender. Dont expect to have equal representation.

It always amuses me how feminists always like to focus on the people at the very top of society without ever mentioning the greater male variability. It must always be sexism rather than the fact that there are a significantly larger number of men who are both highly intelligent, highly conscientious, and prepared to work 70 hours a week for decades.
why does she not talk about the root of problem here? she is talking about superficious solutions that will cover up an infected wound that will still rot under the healthy surface - the problem start with the very young age of every human being and we need to start treating this diverity problem there. she is talking about producvtivity, it is nothing about diversity, this depends on the individual's level of discipline and education.

Don’t take it too seriously?
Blind auditions?
That is not practical solution at all
Everyone, google her name and "Consenticorns"
Deleting yourself could be somthing that is something. 😮😮😮
hold on... why is she classifying herself as a three-fer? Why is being a woman a minority? .. .. WHAT?! .. I .. I'm all for diversity and multiculturalism. But the one-upmanship here is through the roof. Women are not a minority. You don't deserve special attention for BEING a minority. Go out and work hard. Be the best YOU that you can be and you will be better for it. Don't make up false hindrances and pretend that you're being held back by something that isn't actually there. Take accountability for your life and decisions and make the best of what you've been given. We don't all get to have what we want. We get what we earn.
Privilege does take an account for what defines success. While I do believe that someone should work hard in order to achieve their goals, hard work doesn't always give you the result you want and the result you want can be given to you and isn't something earned.
This doll is a constant pain when u Google Donald trump only because she never seems to have anything nice to say
Real negative lady
And for the record minority’s do not exist
Diversity people in the business world are the ones who aren't good at anything. Kind of like safety people in construction.
If a normal world, diversity officers would be answering phones for a living.
The speaker is funny and she gives great solutions for addressing workplace diversity.
Whats wrong with discrimination. Every single person on earth discriminates every day
Inspiring stuff. Arwa is changing the world, one homogenous group at a time.
That John fact was gold
Arwa, thanks an entertaining talk. Not sure about abolishing the word Diversity as it scares this win power. I do have a model from my thesis that provides a way to mange and promote institional change, the sad fact is that companies don't want to solve the issue as it changes power.
Just curious, are gingers considered a minority?
Is it just me, or does this comments section seem bizarre...? These comments seem like they all came from people who didn't watch the video. They feel completely divorced from the meat of Mahdawi's argument. Bummer cause I was looking forward to reading what real life people actually thought about this talk.
It's a touchy subject where people may have had experience with diversity bias. It's a real problem
Is this lecture intended for any place on the globe or only for certain nations?
Mostly US and Western Europe because Jews
this should not be on tedx.
why not?
She is either a genius parodying the diversity proponents or utterly dishonest or stupid.
1. companies don't hire in the general population, they hire within the candidate pool. For the most part, the representation in companies reflect the representation in the candidate pool. There is not a 50% representation of women in the candidates for high power positions so you don't get to conclude discrimination.
2. she goes from studies showing companies which HAVE better "diversity" tend to do better to companies which ARE MADE TO have better "diversity" tend to do better. How dishonest can one be?
She started well though by pointing out how diversity trainings are boring and superficial. Of course they are! Diversity of appearance over diversity of though and experience is at it's core superficial...
Diversity hiring is getting the job without having to work for it...
Diversity is the new normal now! awesome! Cheers! :)
Disability can’t get represented in a diversity TED Talk. Wow!
If Diversity will increase profits, businesses will pursue it vigorously.
diversity bring conflict and conflict bring develop
plenty of conflict in afghahistan. how's that going?
I strongly on how in 2021 people are still hiring and focusing on the I appearance instead of the real reason why they are there
Companies will make hiring decisions that add to their bottom line. That means hiring the best person for the job regardless of race or gender.
Dont expect to have equal representation.
Green M&Ms ruined her life
if anyone wants to save 15 minutes the surprising solution to workplace diversity is blind testing over cv screening
Maybe there would be more women running major companies if... women started more major companies.
if.....most, no, ALL women were given the opportunities to....
@@sucker4chillmusic937 You don't get "given" opportunities to play at that level, you have to go out and make it happen. That's the problem in the way that your type think ...
Thank you Arwa for speaking frankly about this cringy topic.
@ENDA_21 what makes her cringy-ness worse is her total lack of self-awareness
@@Christoph-sd3zi I did not find her cringy.
It always amuses me how feminists always like to focus on the people at the very top of society without ever mentioning the greater male variability. It must always be sexism rather than the fact that there are a significantly larger number of men who are both highly intelligent, highly conscientious, and prepared to work 70 hours a week for decades.
why does she not talk about the root of problem here? she is talking about superficious solutions that will cover up an infected wound that will still rot under the healthy surface - the problem start with the very young age of every human being and we need to start treating this diverity problem there. she is talking about producvtivity, it is nothing about diversity, this depends on the individual's level of discipline and education. I'm a minority, I'm working twice harder than any white colleague, that does not means our team is 41 or whatever % more efficient.
Any reference for the German name study?
one word: automation
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 im in tears
When I ran a large (200-employee) bookstore, I hired a diverse workforce because it was the right thing to do AND it improved my bottom line. It was good business. Diversity was a front-and-center strategy to make my business better on every level.
Rent-a-minority? A rebranding is needed in a bad way.
2:33 Did you know that in the US there are more guys named "John" who are beggars, homeless, imprisoned, no access to basic human life than women
any source to back that?
have any script
Can anyone tell me jow business practices inclusivity
Could we have put a man on the moon if NASA was forced to have a statistically diverse team?
Didn't they make a whole movie about the fact that is was? (somewhat) Anyway -> YES.
Maggie Utgoff thinking’s Hollywood movies are real.😂😂 Hidden Figures had to be the biggest joke I have ever seen.
That's why we cant put astronauts on the moon now.
@@magnus08f250 there are movies that are based on real stories....
They will just delete your comments.
How are women minorities?
