On a recent podcast, Trevor Noah tackled a common criticism of diversity, equity, and inclusion: that it unfairly excludes people who aren’t “diverse.” 

DEI is not about filtering out people – it’s about widening the aperture. It’s how we spot the people we’ve historically overlooked, not ignore others.

In economic terms, that wider view helps us see untapped talent, emerging markets, and overlooked opportunities. 

Widening the aperture doesn’t lower the bar – it expands the playing field.
