You do need SOME diversity at least. Diversity will help make sure all viewpoints are considered. For example, do you want a group of white men deciding women's health issues without having a single woman present? How about race relations and not having a single black or hispanic person?
I don't care if they are or are not gay, white, brown, yellow. As long as they are the best at what we need for the red, white and blue.
Under any Presidency.
That's true, and I think that's something that people forget. We don't become a great nation by adopting freeloaders or people that have no intention of contributing to our country.
Diversity means fewer white straight males. That's what it means. It USED to mean "different", of many different viewpoints, national origins, races, etc. Now it has been totally robbed of it's original meaning.

Maybe. But we don't make any effort at all to be sure all viewpoints are considered. Diversity is limited to skin color and sex. It ignores dozens of other attributes which could very well impact a person's viewpoint.

Diversity always meant the displacement and disfranchisement of whites to the Leftist. They just don't want you to realize that .
Yea, if Star Trek ever happened, the left would be all about how the aliens are racist against (blacks/lgbqtxyz/Hispanics/crazy feminists). They would be so against aliens it wouldn't be funny. Them and white males.

Shouldn't the focus be on finding the best possible team to govern and accomplish the task before them? Why is "diversity" so important to some people.
The failure of the last eight years is partly because of too much focus on "diversity" and not enough on finding the best people for the job. We go two A.G.'s (Holder and Lynch) who were intent on promoting "social justice" and not "blind justice," and an incompetent Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, because she was female.
The purpose of government is not to create some Utopian paradise, but to govern effectively, and fairly, and to see that justice is "blind," not favoring one group because of some view that they have been victimized in the past. Neither is it the purpose of government to promote "gender equality," which is a meaningless term.
Whenever you have a choice between two people of equal experience, education, and talent, must you always choose the person based on gender, ethnicity, or race? Or should you pick the person that you feel you can best work with, whom you feel most closely shares your views?
You kind of answered your own question.
Why do you assume that President Obama only saw color or gender, and not believe he simply thought they were the best.
Holder and Lynch both were well regarded before they were seen as partisan by those of you on the right.
Obama found lots of black people surrounding him in his administration.. Why?
Those who complain about all white appointees, did you ALSO complain about all black appointees? If not then you are a black supremacist hypocrite.

Fair assumption. You see how successful Africa is with all black cabinets in 50 countries? On the other hand it would be nice to ask Thomas Sowell (who is black) to be in the dept of education.

For that matter, 3 of our current SCOTUS justices are jewish, in a country that is only like, what, 2% jewish? Does that also look horrible?
Instead of racial composition, check racial composition of the group: college educated conservatives. You will see not 13% of that being black, but rather like 0.13%. That's the reason why you don't see a racially diverse cabinet.

They don't want to admit that. The scam only works if you deny the scam exists.
"Why is "diversity" so important? "
- to pretend that everyone is equally capable, to prove cultural relativism. Fake it until they make it. that's the reason for diversity quotas. But I'm afraid they can fake it for 1000 years, it will never become true.
