My thinking was, the goal of "diversity" is to have people reject their cultural backgrounds and form a shapeless blob that absorbs commands more easily and resists less. Basically "divide and conquer" applied to workplace.

Dividing implies having to preserve, if not reinforce differences.

Of course those difference aren't meant to object the dominant force. They are meant to counter act each others.

I see more push for integration than assimilation in the workplace.
