Affirmative Action and "diversity" programs have been detrimental to social and economic efficiency because you cannot simultaneously pursue diversity and excellence. What you WILL do is lower the level of accepted competence, and dumb down the entire system; and like a metastasizing cancer, mediocrity will spread throughout the culture. Combine diversity with institutional "credentialism," and you get people in positions of authority without talent, experience or basic leadership skills; but a smug arrogance will not be lacking.
