This term emerged primarily in English-speaking corporate and academic contexts post-2010s, particularly in discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. In Brazil, the concept resonates with discussions about tokenismo and représentatividade, reflecting ongoing debates about whether corporations are genuinely committed to diversity or merely creating an appearance of inclusivity. The term is increasingly used critically in both American and Brazilian contexts to challenge organizations that claim commitment to diversity while resisting structural change.
