The growing efforts to promote diversity in American institutions and workplaces are something to celebrate—but they’re also leading to unexpected headaches. But in the case of diversity, a little success has created a lot of contempt—and some of the foremost champions of diversity at times seem overwhelmed by the opening of the Pandoran box.
