20. Item #2 would not be "welcomed" if the new boss was an a-hole or couldn't communicate

well in English.

But color isn't the issue in that case.

Really, any of those things should not necessarily be "welcomed" for the sake of multiculturalism, but judged on the merits of the person and their ability to fulfill that role competently and pleasantly.

So on second thought, I am removing my vote for "a multicultural person would welcome it".
