> a common call to action for at least the past twenty years . . . has been that we need more diverse teams

I view calls for more “diverse” teams as a sort of general platitude, basically a thought terminating cliche.

The problem is that the team has made certain assumptions about the demographics of its userbase, not that the team itself is not diverse. The real world is too long tail to represent every demographic. The 40th most popular language has 46 million speakers.
