If diversity is a really big deal to you, then read a series that's intentionally diverse! Ok its me again- because I feel the need to address this-

"read a series that's intentionally diverse"

What?? Diversity is something that is lacking in many things, books and movies to name a few, the lack of representation bringing protests and more. The fact that diversity is somewhat lacking in Kotlc is maddening. All series should be, in our modern world, diverse somewhat- not to simply appeal to diverse people but to be actually modern. Because of the many advancements in our old segregrated world, books pretty much need to contain diversity to be realistic, appealing, and not racist. Kotlc has no excuse for not containing ethnically diverse characters, despite the fact that elves 'dont see color' or whatever. Obviously if you don't want a series to be considered racist, you kind of need to contain diversity. I don't think KOTLC itself is racist, but CrazyCatzy- you may need to update your knowledge on our world now. And the definition of the word diverse.
