TOKENISM:

The act of casting one or a small number of individuals from a specific marginalized group to create the illusion that a show or organization is diverse. A tokenized individual in an organization is often incorrectly seen and treated as representing a monolithic idea of the culture or group they identify as belonging to. This practice is harmful to the individual and the group they identify as a part of, hindering genuine attempts to diversify the mainstream theatre industry.
