Awe yes diversity. Can't go a day with out reading this ever lasting buzzword.

Is that really your determining factor while deciding to watch a movie? It isn't mine. I watch a movie because its a good movie, I don't go searching for diversity, I like watching a movie because of its entertainment value. You should try it.

Forced diversity is one of the big issues with modern media. Instead of making an actually diverse character, yano, with human thoughts and feelings, they just tick some skin and gender boxes and leave it at that. It's just another form of stereotyping.
If you're a minority, it's nice having a relatable positive role model in the media you consume.
Or, at a minimum, to not have a negative role model.
Yeah I'd just settle for not-racist-caricature, looking at you Mickey Rooney
Or Bugs Bunny for that matter.
