This one might sound a bit familiar.

Non-caucasian = diverse

This little turd has been affixed to the University of Toronto’s St. George campus for well over 6 months now with no one so much as batting an eyelash. It’s still there now.
Compare this to the hysteria generated by the “It’s Okay to be White” posters:
They [one of the people who put up posters] wrote that “the reason that this agreeable poster has caused such a ruckus is the very reason why I think its an important message. It’s okay to be who I am.”
Althea Blackburn-Evans, Director of Media Relations at U of T, said that the messages on the posters “are part of campaigns around North America that are antithetical to the University’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, which are among our core values.”
In other words, it’s NOT okay to be white or accept yourself for who you are because “diversity, equity, and inclusion”. Put another way, it’s okay to hate, belittle, denigrate, and exclude, maybe even get a little violent or murderous, as long as your target has a certain skin colour (i.e. white).
This is “anti-racism”, “inclusivity” and “tolerance” circa 2020.
P.S. This is the URL that the QR code on the poster links to: https://www.staceyjenkinscasting.com/casting-call-new-host-ytv-the-zone/
P.P.S. Of course the role was eventually awarded to a non-caucasian because there are already too many white men on this show and anything other than awarding a role based on the colour of one’s skin would be irretrievably racist and discriminatory anyways. Obviously.
