Board and C-Suite Diversity

With everything going on right now I'm seeing a lot of stuff on TV about how we need more diversity on boards and at the C-Suite level.

I'm not denying that some people may have been overlooked, but I have to believe that's a small fraction. Aren't businesses trying to select the best people to try and put themselves in the best position to be successful? It's hard to run a business, why select less qualified people to be in leadership positions or board positions purely because they're white?

Am I thinking about that correctly or is there something I'm not seeing? I could see it as a grassroots problem, where, if minorities get better education it'll essentially feed up to those levels.

What like to hear everyones thoughts or experiences.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
