When teams realize their culture is the barrier to diversity

My team keeps hiring people who 'fit the culture' but our culture was built by six white guys in their twenties and now we're thirty people and the new hires who don't fit that mold keep leaving. We all see it happening but we keep pretending it's about 'performance' instead of admitting our culture might be exclusionary.
