The kind of diversity that's mentioned everywhere, with parameters like race, sex, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, and religion. Does not include "deeper" parameters of real diversity such family size, medical history, career aspirations, and favourite foods.
When Tracy was passed over for the weekend anchor position because she didn't fulfill the television network's diversity quotient, she brought up the fact that she suffers from Crohn's disease. The network, following the guidelines of meme diversity, ignored her rebuttal and Tracy was stuck as a reporter for years to come.

Diversity Numbes is a phrase used by the elite to describe the degree to which a business’s or organization's workforce is not straight, white and male.
In most contexts, a workforce is considered diverse if it comprises a large contingent of non-white, non-male and non-heterosexual workers, but this is by no means a general rule, as evidenced by the tendency of Asians to be counted as "white" in some contexts and "non-white" in other contexts.
Many organizations, Google for example, game their diversity numbers by hiring a large contingent of "LGBTQ" workers who are white, and thus avoid the need to hire black people.
The phrase came into popular usage through its frequent appearances in Gawker, where it was used to measure the diversity of Silicon Valley firms.

when a director or author blatantly puts a minority into a story that makes no progression to the story, just to pander to SJWs
Person 1:man this author keeps putting useless minority characters into the story
Person 2:yeah they just forced diversity

A diversity hire but for the cinema. When a minority actor/ actress is given a role not because of their acting ability, but by the color of their skin. Done to come across as less racist, but ends up coming across more racist by implying that said actor/ actress would be unable to secure this role off their own merit.

A term used when major companies change the race, sexuality or gender of characters in already established IP’s, or in historical events, of which are decades old and is unnecessary, and (usually) do not add any value to the material.
Almost always changing white characters to black, straight characters to gay characters, or gender swapping characters.
Never used in a genuine inclusive way as presented and almost always used to put more money in the pockets of large businesses by attempting to appeal to the “woke” demographic. Sometimes changes the entire point of the original story or the outcome of a historical event in an attempt to further appeal to the “woke” audience.
When this term is brought up, “woke” people will often call you racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, or transphobic.

Business 1: “let’s make a movie about Thomas Edison but he’s black and a girl, and let’s change the lesson of the story to be about women’s empowerment.”
“Woke” viewers: “This is amazing and absolutely the right decision to make! 10/10 movie.”
Business 2: “Let’s make a movie about Martin Luther King Jr. but let’s make him white and make the lesson of the movie about men’s mental health.”
“Woke” viewers: “You can’t do that! You are racist and misogynistic!”
Person 1: “I don’t like that they made Ariel from The Little Mermaid black, it was unnecessary and seems like forced diversity to me.”
“Woke” person 2: “You are racist for not liking the fact that she is black, I am going to cancel you on Twitter!”
