Part of the problem with diversity culture is that, depending on the circumstance, Russians and Central Americans, especially fair skinned and Americanized ones, may not count as "diverse". And in most workplaces there is an obvious "Asian" presence (scare quotes because Filipino and Chinese go in the same category), so the Asian men aren't counted as "diverse" either.
Companies can't come out with official taxonomies of diversity, so it's all vague and based on unspoken intuitions about which candidates count as more diverse.
It's not a system someone would design from scratch.
To me, it seems like hiring the first Mormon, albino, or Thai employee would be an obvious win from a diversity perspective, but it's not that simple.
