A way to get people to focus on something else, such as when somebody wants to take people's attention away from similarities between their own country and a near-dictatorship and distract them with a story about a country overseas somewhere.
The girl told a story about Belarus, which despite her description of the country as being a near-dictatorship, was one of the few countries that wasn't on a lockdown at this time. It was a good diversion from events in her own country.

A program created by the government to help "troubled teens" who find themselves in a position to getting a charge against them. to keep them "out of the court" the kids are accepted into a diversion program. Through the whole thing, the government, the teens and the parents waste a whole lot of time and whole of tax dollars, ameliorating absolutely nothing. When getting a ticket would have been a better option in the first place.
Teen #1: Dude, did you hear? That girl told us for denting mailboxes?
Teen #2: Oh, dont worry dude, we just got diversion.
Teen#1: OHHH NOOO!
Teen #3: Duuuude, im just gonna go to court, like a smart kid.

The NAACP is very diverse because of the low number of Caucasian members.
The NBA is very diverse because of all the black members.
The United Nations needs more diversity because there's too many white people.
