First of all, I think I am a builder.
Yes. That is how I would have classed someone like you also, based on the same reasoning.
The fact that I have an accent and come from a different part of the world would have potentially indicated that I would be more likely to bring a diversity of thought than those who grew up here but we're of African American background.
Silly, isn't it? This is the problem with the superficial labelling of diversity. It indicates nothing about the practical application.
And the challenges are multipronged, because those school and hiring quotas often end up pushing people into areas that they are not best suited for, meaning they will struggle against anyone who is. Yes, there is a lot of systemic issues that need to be cleaned up, but using superficial traits as the filter is moronic.
