But what sort of diversity is to be championed?

The BBC has this office, and officer, to champion diversity:

If there’s one thing that unites Tory MPs, it’s mistrust of the ‘north London liberal elite’. Members of this shadowy group live in Islington, voted Labour and Remain, and hold highly-paid jobs in metropolitan institutions where their decision-making shapes the direction of the country.

So, I venture to June Sarpong, director of creative diversity at the BBC, and former face of the Britain Stronger in Europe campaign, as she speaks to me from her home in Islington: "I think they might be talking about you."

The important question is clearly well, what sort of diversity is it that is being championed?

But Ms Sarpong is in no doubt that white privilege is a fact of life. “There is unfairness baked into our system,” she says, and while the “elite white male” is at the top of the tree, even the white working class has an advantage over people from black and Asian backgrounds.

Ah, that kind. Something of a pity. An insistence upon a certain ideological view - this white privilege - is not what we’d consider to be a useful or interesting form of diversity. Even if it were true, an objective fact - not something we think it is - that British society is engrained with this institutional racism it is still true that diversity of ideological view on this, as with any other matter, is the useful and interesting form of said diversity.

In fact, we’d say that an office, or department, of diversity that actually has an ideological view is in itself missing the point of the existence of the office.
