Diversity: good.
It's not likely that anyone will disagree with that conclusion. In fact, most business concerns, including law firms, now ignore that accepted wisdom at their peril. Few organizations cannot wax eloquent on their commitment to diversity, and their sincerity is not to be doubted. Diversity is fairness personified. It's smart business policy. It's eventually inevitable in any multicultural society.
What's most important, though, is that diversity is acculturated. In other words, I believe diversity isn't really diversity until it's more than the product of each of those reasons above. And less.
