Along with the survey questions in wiki[1] about demographic details, I was hoping we could also use these questions for diversity and workplace inclusion survey in Fedora community.

Please give me your feedback so I can add some more/ work on improving them.
You are assuming that the respondent has some knowledge of diversity matters. This approach is not likely to help unless the respondents are policy makers. The best approach would be to ground your questions.
I edited the wiki a bit, but did not complete it. But see the part about gender identity for example.
Ideas of "minorities" are best approached from a grounded perspective. How, for example, would you extract information about the intersection of caste and the FOSS infrastructure in India?
Ask about actual interaction in events, online, personal conversations, perception etc, and not about summaries. Even if you are going to ask the questions to people involved in diversity, you need to ground the questions.
