It would be easier if they called diversity positions like this, inside or outside ad agencies, by their real name:

Cheerleader.

Someone who is there to add color without playing in the game, not affect the final score or numbers whatsoever, and occasionally take a hit for the team just by virtue of standing on the sidelines.
