I think both you and Ilaine miss the point. There is more genetic diversity in sub-Saharan Africa because that is where the gene pool arose. As the smaller, non-genetically diverse populations migrated out of Africa, they took not only a smaller gene pool with them but were also subjected to a radically different set of conditions [Ice Ages, catastrophic volcanic eruptions, etc.] than those who remained. More rigorous selection of survivors therefore probably took place, accounting for the relatively smaller lack of diversity in non-African gene pools. But this more rigorous selection can be seen as sharpening the genetic knife so that the descendants of those who survived the migration out of Africa - the winners - are generally better equipped to deal with challenges. Migration and nomadism in this sense are probably very good things for your gene line.
