They were a part of many different clubs at business school.
Beyond what everyone else mentioned, racial diversity isn't the only diversity. Diversity of sexuality, economic/geographic backgrounds, etc.
As a real life example--my 30+ direct reports have quite an array of backgrounds though they're mostly all the same race. I've got two who didn't go to college, a couple with extensive military experience, one who is UHNW, at least one who came from a severely disadvantaged background, folks with disabilities, and a wide array of colleges from community college through HYP, associates degrees through PhDs, and professional experience from the trades through academia and MBB.
I would consider that a very diverse team even though almost all of them are the same race.
Classic consulting: talk the talk but don’t walk the walk
Not just consulting teams, but lots of companies say this too, and when it’s not genuine, it’s performative virtue signaling. If they have White women or the one token visible minority for example, in their Boards or in C-Suite, they’re suddenly “diverse and inclusive” and it kinda just stops there instead of saying they need to work more on bringing in other forms of diversity.
Lol. It’s better than saying you have a token black person for two weeks on your team and claiming you are the most diverse region in NA
That hasn’t been my experience. I do see the lack of diversity in the higher ranks much more than in the lower ranks (eg. white male partners abound). But I’m a white foreigner and I’ve been staffed with people from all over the world and plenty of women. Very different from what it was barely 5-6 years ago.
That said, I haven’t met many Black colleagues.

It means they have to say it but don’t care to do anything about it

Most of my teams are made up of Indians and Chinese people... managed by white people. Pretty diverse.
Because diversity is more than skin color.
Lmao! Maybe diversity in skills ? !
