This is "diversity"?

There are 29 students in my masters level 
"Foundations of Literacy" course.
.
.
Of these, 6 are male.
.
.
2 are African American.
.
.
2 are from outside the United States.
.

Multiple remarks were made this morning about how 
"diverse" this class is.
.
.
.
.
The only actual "diversity" I noticed was in the age of students 
and the levels at which we provide instruction.
.
.
.

It's weird to be part of the majority again.
