I will choose a company based on how diverse it is, the causes it supports, its service to the communities it is in. I won't shop at Wal Mart. I checked the HRC scores for automakers before buying my truck --eliminating Nissan from the list of possibilities because of their dismal diversity score. I won't make my decision based on those diverse issues--I won't buy crap just because the company is run by lesbians and donates money to AIDS charities--but there are a lot of factors in that decision and good citizenship is just one.

Lee makes his choice only on factors that directly affect the bottom line, which is certainly reasonable. However, when all other things are equal, I want to patronize companies that are diverse in their workforce. And Lee, you are always welcome in my neighborhood.
