Use of the term "diversity" as shorthand for "racial diversity". "We are striving to increase the diversity of our faculty" almost certainly means only "we want to hire more faculty members of different races than the present ones", not "we want to hire people who have professional backgrounds, educational backgrounds, and perspectives that differ from our present faculty."
Totally agree with this.
Another pet peeve of mine around this is when people say a company isn't diverse because they don't have "under-represented minorities" but are conveniently ignoring all of the minorities they don't care about.
Yesterday found a new one. Morbid obesity.
...
Of all the diners in the restaurant we were the only four of normal weight.
Go to a sushi restaurant and you won't have this problem.
