At a practical level, it means you end up with particular slots reserved for particular demographics. What happens when the person from $demographic_one retires from the board? Do you use an impartial search process? Or are you legally obligated to reject certain applicants based on their demographics? I understand the appeals to equity vs equality. I'm saying this is a subtle distinction hinging on who is making choices and how. I don't want the government deciding who is diverse enough or historically oppressed enough or underrepresented enough. It will get it wrong far too often.
