Not sure I’m too keen on this coin. “Diversity” covers everyone, so the statement on the coin is effectively “People Built Britain”. Well, what do you know?! There now seems to be some confusion as to what diversity means - it certainly doesn’t just mean ethnic diversity. I would choose to see it as representing, say, women, LGBTQ+ people, people with physical disabilities, those with mental health problems and older people (have I missed any minority?) along with the only type of people not seen as a minority or disadvantaged group, namely white, middle class, heterosexual men with no physical or mental disabilities and not too old.
It just seems too much of a knee-jerk reaction to me.
