The commission should be staffed by the 'best qualified' people period.  Race and gender should not be a category for selection.  That would be token-ism.

Diversity as a distinct goal is un-American because it does not treat everyone equally.  Diversity means that race, ethnicity or gender will be added to the selection criteria.

The 5 member commission has 3 men and 2 women by gender, 3 whites and 2 Asians by race/ethnicity.  Pretty diverse.

She complained that the 4 member test scoring task force lacked diversity.  She listed gender, profession, residence, and cultural and ethnic background as criteria.  She is one member short.  We would have to add another task force member unless one member is a two-fer to satisfy her.

The police chief candidates include a woman, Asians and whites.

If this isn't diversity, what is?
