Widespread suspicion and even hostility to diversity ought to make us rethink what it really means. Our problem is not that we have too much diversity but that we don’t have enough. The groups into which we divide our communities are too broad and not sufficiently fine-grained. True friends of diversity and of the British values of eccentricity and difference need to realise that every time we privilege the group we disadvantage the unique individual.
