diventity 

Diventity is a generic concept that links diversity, density, and identity, defined as such:

Diventity is the quality that allows identity to emerge from the density of diversity, when that density reaches a particular level or critical mass.
"An ecosystem has Diventity if the diverse species of fauna and flora meet in the right density to create an emergent, sustainable identity, for example a tropical jungle."

"The European Union is a new identity emerging from the diverse identities of its constituent nations: it has a Diventity."

"Manhattan has diventity, since its identity stems from the large number of diverse communities living and interacting within a relatively small territory."

"A symphony has diventity since it is defined by the diversity of instrument scores, each scores itself has diventity since it is defined by the diversity of notes that makes it up; conversely, a collection of notes does not automatically make up a symphony, but perhaps cacophony."

Diversity pimp 

Like the poverty pimps who pimped the poor for their own enrichment through bogus social programs, diversity pimps are high priced consultants who make money from foundations and governnment for conducting pointless "diversity audits" or research on diversity, presenting "diversity training" . . . using up any money that might actually have gone towards helping communities of color or other identified populations.
An example of a diversity pimp is a consultant who conducts "diversity audits" for companies, foundations or universities, or a diversity consultant who facilitates "diversity conversations" or does diversity training.

Diversity Washing 

A term used to describe the process of including diversity for the sake of pushing diverse agenda, or where it does not fit. This is very similar to white washing, but usually does the opposite. It most commonly applies to film adaptations of books, who race or gender swap characters to ensure the film cast is diverse, in places where the book or story characters were not. It also applied to historical adaptations in which a character (usually white) from history is portrayed as being some other race than they actually where historically. Can apply to film, video game, comic book, plays, books or any other form of media.
Portraying Achilles as a black man, instead of Mediterranean, is just film makers diversity washing Homer's Greek classic The Iliad...
