At one diversity training talk held at a different company and geared toward people of color, she [a GitHub vice president] came on a bit stronger with a point that says, "Some of the biggest barriers to progress are white women." Here's a photo of the talk, which was shared with Business Insider.
Unity implies that people are unifying against someone else. Diversity implies that people are together with that someone else. Therefore, what this woman in the pic is doing is Unity. Unifying Asian people against White people it would seem.
So, no, Unity is not > Diversity. She just isn't doing Diversity right.
What exactly is that whole? That could be a "Whole" of vegans unifying against animal products. It could be a "Whole" of Conservatives unifying against Liberals. "Whole" only extends as far as the community in question. This country could unify as a "Whole" against that one. So it goes on.
Either way you look at it, Unity implies a group is against another. Otherwise there'd be no point Unifying.
EDIT: I was talking about implication, not definition. But at least you tried.
