It also goes the other way; sometimes people complain that people of a certain ethnicity are over represented in games. Resident Evil 5 comes to mind, the complaints were mostly revolving around the fact that the player was attacking Africans. in Africa. Who are zombies. Strangely, no one had any issues with murdering Spanish zombies in Resident Evil 4, it's a ridiculous complaint.
Same in Left 4 Dead 2, they complained about African American zombies that you could shoot. In New Orleans. There was also the outrage over the all male cast of Final Fantasy XV, such a disgrace. Final Fantasy X-II was no problem though, an all female cast is fine and not a disgrace. And the main protagonist of both FFXIII games is also female, still a disgrace about XV though, such a disgrace.
Some genres, like RPG's, both Fantasy and Sci-Fi, go another route and display entirely different species altogether, which is also diversity.
All that said, I wouldn't really mind some protagonists in action games that aren't a brown haired, white males with a boyish charm, it kinda gets old.
People complain about things, especially video games since the audience is easy to attack and the developers still aren't taken nearly as seriously as musicians or actors and directors.
GhaudePhaede010: Sense8 is a good example of diversity that adds to the narrative and plot. Great show, great cast.
