I share your theory. Which points to a business opportunity creating diversity-friendly companies.
The trouble is, the world is still sexist and racist. So while you’d end up with a more capable workforce, your company would also be disadvantaged at every turn. Your sales people would be looked over by clients, your bizdev reps would be disrespected by partners, etc.
I think to exploit your insight profitably, you need to create an n-sided market of many companies all committed to diversity.
That opens you to other attacks, like how the Black Panthers were infiltrated by the CIA for trying to build a black separatist economy.
N-sided market problems are also really hard. Although I think this one can be solved with some clever software infrastructure. Once we start seeing some really capable “Ubers of Everything” these kinds of people plays become more feasible.
