An interesting follow up question to ask would be, does it matter what is teams diversity at all? In tech realm you tend to be graded on how well you deliver the projects and it's the quality of your team and how well they perform that affects this. Having more or less diversity on the team isn't necessarily a recipe for successful project/work delivery if your underlying team qualifications are not very good.

It's a moral imperative once you recognize inequity to try to alleviate it in whatever ways you can.
