I found this to be the norm in EU/Singapore so unfortunately it would be very hard to find a company that does not work like that.


Then I guess you are pretty much the problem here or I should say your ideology is the differing one.

I have been living in Asia for a while, indeed diversity is not seen as anything useful. It's not considered a criteria to be taken into consideration.

I have worked in diverse team and I have worked in a monoethnic team. I haven't seen any difference whatsoever in term of performance.

From my own experience I like working in a monoethnic team. And I like working within a team with a little bit of diversity. But when diversity is going too the roof, then my degree of joy at work start declining.


My experience is vastly different. Monoethnic teams reinforce the us vs them mentality. I have seen it too many times to dismiss it as just an unlucky coincidence.


I personally don’t see any problems with that. I decided to be an engineer to solve problems.

Being in a team where people are black or have vaginas is devoid of any value to me. And I tend to leave any companies that seek to optimize these criteria because I find the idea of hiring based on gender, sexual organs or racial consideration to be intellectually insulting.
