“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

If she marched for the cause of BLM adding another person from that group wouldn't add a novel view point if that is already one of her own. As for the other groups you mentioned I think that they would be good additions. A homogeneous cabinet is pointless.

I didn't ask whether you thought they were diverse, I asked whether you thought they would ever be given the same consideration in the name of "diversity of thought". We both know they won't.
