Why is it easier for us to trust our rationalization of others' situations than their own thoughts about their identities and experiences? Why do we tend to judge and separate ourselves from those who have different life experiences than us instead of appreciating a diversity approach that allows us to challenge ourselves alongside those who are different than us?

These are "common-sensims" I often see faced with conflicting sides. One conflict I repeatedly see is "Won't prioritizing diversity take away from prioritizing the best available?" This is especially present in talks of employment. I believe prioritizing diversity means no bias is present when making an evaluation, broaden where you are looking for options, and don't overlook qualified options because they do not fit a mold. Diversity means having "various intersectional identities in a given space." This is important because we can receive ideas, thought processes, and perspectives from minds that have experienced many different practices, cultures, and experiences instead of creating products that come from similar minds, meaning a more restricted and less challenging process.
