Do you care if all groups are represented equally? Does it have to only be race? What about gender? Religious beliefs? Disability? Sexuality? Hair color? Political affiliation?

I wonder if you really think it’s a problem of lack of inclusivity or if it’s a problem of not including the groups you specifically care about at the exact proportion of you’ve arbitrarily determined is right.

For every group.

I used to read a lot when I was in HS then pick reading back up last year (I am in my early 20's) and I made a point to diversify my bookshelves.

It includes the LGBTQ+ community, BIPOC authors and books that also includes disable characters etc.

I don't buy books from more conservative authors but I do consume media from everyone in the spectrum because it's essentially to know what everyone is saying. So I look at PragerU, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson even if they don't align with my beliefs.

So yes, I care about diversity and inclusion all around
