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...

Diversity hire

Most middle management in alot of industries have to tick at least one diversity box to be allowed to be promoted however a diversity hire was taken on purely to tick boxes and usually more than one. Example black, transgender lesbian head if HR equality department.

Why would someone so stupid be given a management position when there was lots of better candidates?
The company needed to reduce the gender pay gap so had to do a diversity hire.

davespeak

The usually one-sided banter of Dave Matthews that takes place in between songs (usually) at a Dave Matthews Band or Dave and Tim show. It can be anything, such as random phrases and facts, mock dialogue, or an interesting anecdote.

Examples of Davespeak are:

“this is a song about little pink drinks that look like condoms...”

“Remember that there are hundreds of thousands of things you can eat that are not cheese.”

“This is a song about somebody I was fucking...no, this is a song about somebody thatI really liked a lot....maybe, I don’t know...and I happened to be at the same time that I really enjoyed this person..fucking her at the same time."

"a goat's penis is much like a pencil but shinier and pink. but in that pencil is the power to create life."
