I mean, if you are trying to build the BEST orchestra, the one that hopefully sounds the best... why wouldn't you want to base it entirely off the skill of the person?
It's fairly obvious that people who write articles like this don't really care whether the orchestra is any good or not. To them it is more important that the orchestra meet their arbitrary racial and gender quotas. Of course it’s stupid, since the audience wants the orchestra to be as musically excellent as possible. Why should the orchestra try to please anyone else?
