To clarify, it's forced diversity when characters are diverse for the sake of it and not because it ties into the plot or their individual personalities. Take Recess, you have at the very least three regular white kids and only the one black kid in the group, but they're distinct enough as the leader, athlete, tomboy, brain, gentle giant, and new kid that it works just fine.
It's also forced diversity, in every sense of the phrase, when they make a traditionally white character non-white for no other reason than to do it. Now, that doesn't mean that the media is automatically going to be god awful, but it does evoke a certain sense of mismanaged priorities.
