Is lack of gender/racial diversity valid criticism?

That's always funny because there is always some sort of backlash when non white male is lead in a movie or in a game but we shouldn't care when other than straight white male are mostly the ones portrayed in every medias...

Was the backlash against Tomb Raider? Or Lucy? Or Alien? Terminator? Independence Day? All those Disney movies. It's time to stop blaming straight white malea for every problem in the world.

Blaming straight white males isn't my intention.  No good discussion would come out of this. I made an observation though. I worked for a long time selling and renting movies when I was younger and yes there always seems to be a lot of overlooking movies that don't have a white male as the lead. The thing to understand imo is that it doesn't mean no more white males or that all white males are guilty of racism. It means that more people are aware of this and want a better representation of people, not a representation of "specific" people.
