> Are people learning the cautionary tale?

I suppose not, no more than they ever do.

> I kinda see why the elite cannot grasp their heads around this.

This seems plausible, and is an example of a more general problem: when people are able to isolate themselves from the consequences of things, they can hold onto all kinds of notions that more intimate practitioners can't.

> But what they fail to see is that although academia is ethnically diverse, it is not multicultural.

Under-rated take.  The annoying thing is that diversity really is amazingly valuable.  People are just generally extremely limited in how the think about the concept.
