Not that I support affirmative action, but it always drives me crazy when "diversity" is defined in terms of only race or gender. I think the most diversity comes from different socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be correlated with race/gender, but isn't necessarily caused by it.
I totally agree. I love diversity. But diversity isn't just a plethora of skin pigmentation, or a good mix of women and men. Diversity of ideas, experiences, cultures, etc, are usually what we mean when we say diversity. But, as you say, they aren't always a function of race and gender. I wouldn't mind some socio-economic affirmative action, at least compared to the system many schools have now.
