Good Diversity
- Settings where it makes sense
- Good character development for minority characters
- Don't make inclusiveness focus of your marketing or brag about it how you have it
Bad Diversity
- Shoehorning diversity into settings where it doesn't make sense
- Changing the races of established characters just so you can have a minority character
- Bragging about your diverse cast
- Adding minority characters just for the brownie points, then giving them crappy character development

These are sensible, but like you mentioned in a previous post, you seem inclined to consider any PoC character that's undeveloped as someone that's just there for the sake of it. On all likelihood, the number of undeveloped white male characters, often deliberately tacked in in older works to thread more familiar market ground, is far greater and yet you didn't seem bothered by them.
