diversity cake 

The predictably formulaic ingredients of a programme or ad where almost every group is somehow represented almost as if someone was baking a cake... add a black guy
Few sprinkles of gay
Pinch of disability
Crack a few straight white males
And mix with female lead and bake on channel 11 for half an hour
Oh gawd did you see that ad? Another diversity cake baked and ready to go

Diversity Diva 

A woman, or someone who identifies as a woman, that achieves a prominent position due to a company's diversity criteria and not her actual ability. This woman then goes and makes a massive diva of herself knowing there is no way for her to be fired.
Alex: What's the story with Grace? She's absolutely useless and a massive bully.
Billy: She's a Diversity Diva; got her job because the company needed more female managers to make quota. No way for her to be thrown out no matter how much of a bitch she makes of herself.
