Yea,vthey definitely fucked the phrasing on that one, but I think their point is it’s negative to focus on diversity over the story.

A good story with a focus on diversity and accepting others? Good!

Diversity for the sake of casting a minority actor in a role that’s otherwise squandered and only shown off as a token? Bad!

The positive interpretation is akin to what Warwick Davis meant in his criticism against Snow White: Don’t use minorities as a token, especially a marketing token. If you’re going to do it, make it mean something so they’re not just a token for marketing purposes.
