1. Colour Washing: Misrepresenting the diversity of an organization by focusing on a few token individuals of color while avoiding deeper issues of racial equity.
2. Rainbow Washing: Refers to corporations that publicly support LGBTQ+ rights (e.g., changing logos during Pride Month) without implementing genuine policies that support this community.
3. Inclusivity Washing: Promoting an image of being inclusive and equitable without actually providing inclusive work environments or opportunities for underrepresented groups.
