I agree with the author, there is definitely a "type" of diversity that we don't talk about or even have a name for. I'm gonna call it "cultural diversity". I think people focus on racial diversity and gender balance because they are good proxies for cultural diversity, which is otherwise quite hard to quantify.
For example, if your team's demographics match the demographics of the Stanford CS department, odds are your failing at "cultural diversity" even if you hired a black MIT grad. On the other hand if your team's demographics match the country as a whole, you're probably doing pretty well at cultural diversity.
