Your comment displays your ignorance and prejudice;  either unawareness or willfully ignorance of the systematic discrimination against the groups mentioned (there's no discrimination in Cda like there are no gays in Iran).  Do you think because someone is in a wheelchair s/he is incapable of 'creativity, innovativeness, brains, and ability...'? Or is 'diversity' a proxy 'visible minorities' in your eyes?  If you have no access to a pool or a body of water, do you think you'd know who to swim?  The point of this threat is for universities to start hiring diversified talent and support the ones already there.  Chairships require letters of support from deans, etc. and if they dont particularly like you your letter wont be particularly good.  Institutions should reflect the population they serve; currently they're akin to 45 and his merry band of white men making decisions about women's bodies...and we all know just how smart they are.
