If we’re calling people “diversity hires” then I would like to also coin the term “homogeneity hire”:

A person who is hired, not because they were the best, but because they were the same.

Used in a sentence: “Mike hired another Mike - he’s probably a homogeneity hire”

I knew a manager named Mike who had 4 Mikes on his team. People called them "The Mikes". There were more Mikes on his team than women or POC.

In the immortal words of Nas: "Yo, all I need is one Mike."

(Sorry if your name is Mike and you got caught in the crossfire here)
