A diversity hire but for the cinema. When a minority actor/ actress is given a role not because of their acting ability, but by the color of their skin. Done to come across as less racist, but ends up coming across more racist by implying that said actor/ actress would be unable to secure this role off their own merit.
Disney diversity casted Rose from The Last Jedi.

The few people a high school theater director will cast to make it seem like they don't only cast the same group of people.
I.e. A diversity hire but for highschool theater
Person 1: Dude I can't believe Mr. Brown only casts the same people outside of ensemble
Person 2: Yeah, ensemble are all his diversity casts
