Innovation, creativity, and cultural insights. Homogeneous groups tend to think along the same lines which on the surface may seem to make things work more smoothly. However, if you want people to think outside the box, you need diversity, different backgrounds, different races, cultures, and sexes.Cultures whose goal is exclusiveness, do not survive because of the lack of diversity which means less exposure to new ideas and different approaches to problems.Diversity has no value. Judges are not to represent their ethnic groups, but to interpret the law.
That this is weird for you, might be one of the reasons for the lack of black judges.
It also means less diverse personality traits. Employers have to look harder for exactly the kind people they are looking for in non-diverse culture. For Example:
People from some countries are much more social and open, others are more reserved. The Japanese tend to be more polite and less aggressive. Brazilians tend to be more adaptive and creative in solving problems than most other countries. Filipino tend be more willing to help others. Egyptians tend much more reserved in public but very family orientated. Nigerians tend to be hardest working. The Dutch and the Swiss tend to be the most innovative.
The more diversity in the workforce, the more employers have to choose from.

I see that you have stated your position. I see your claim. IMO, it seems likely that nay gain from what you say, would be lost due to the friction of different people working together.
IM2, for example, comes from a culture where he expects a black judge to represent black interests in the courtroom, instead of doing the traditional american culture thing, of meeting his professional responsibilities.
What is the gain to society from this diversity?
That is the theory. How would you like to support it? Hint: Other people agreeing with you, is not a supporting argument.
There has been numerous research studies that show rather conclusively that better decision making comes out of diverse groups than homogeneous groups. In addition, many large companies such as Apple, Amazon, Disney, Johnson and Johnson, Mastercard, Kaiser Permanente, Coca Cola, and Marriott have reached this conclusion even before all the research.

1. They made the decisions in advance of the data? Interesting.
2. Let's take a look at one of those studies why don't we?
3. I'm very curious how they correct for all the variables with your claim on revenue, especially family run businesses.
4. Job seekers are people coming out of universities where they A. have been indoctrinated, and B. are likely to be very diverse and not wanting to work with overly white groups. That is not wanting diversity, and wanting people like themselves.
