Attempting to correct one injustice with the converse injustice does not automatically add up to justice.

The diversity in individual choices of how to compartmentalise the society (if at all) the way one finds most interesting (e.g., intelligence, looks, the country of origin) helps the society not to overlook each other's valuable characteristics. The pursuit of such diversity in attitudes is also consistent with the belief that the democratic process is liable to uncover socially valuable truths.

It is beneficial for one's long-term wellbeing to adhere to logically coherent beliefs, whether such beliefs are fashionable or not. One learns faster if one thinks and acts consistently; the social feedback is then clearer.

Diversity has immediate value that does not merely amount to the warm glow that the historically dominant group experiences by acknowledging underrepresented groups. It promotes social cohesion to recognise such benefits and to speak about them openly.

The entire cast shines.
