I don't see them as different to any other company, really. I could imagine diversity in their staff of buyers would be useful, for example, to ensure they're stocking products that represent the different desires of different groups.

My point was in response to this. The idea is the available pool for a specific job may not match that of the general population. Different companies have different ratios of different jobs. So, assuming all things are equal, the diversity at different companies can only match the diversity of the qualified pool of workers. In that sense, different companies will be different.
For example, according to those statistics, Costco should be more diverse than, say, Netflix.
Yeah, I do. You don’t need race diversity to have product diversity. My wife is Taiwanese. But her friend who is Korean said “I wish there were Taiwanese noodles at Costco”. How did she do it? She’s Korean. Is it possible for her to know that Taiwanese food is nice. I don’t know. But she pulled off the nigh impossible.
You're being flippant but stocking things that people want is actually far more complicated than this. If you're looking to cater to an ethnic group you have to actually understand what they buy and how. If stock the wrong brands, or you import them from another country that does it slightly differently, then people won't buy your stuff. It's not about "Taiwanese noodles" it's "these are the noodles I would typically pick up at Ranch 99".
One way, but like Afghans can have a history of selling tamales, White people (and indeed Black people and whoever else) can figure this out too. It really doesn't need supernatural genetic knowledge via the spice melange.
