Is lack of gender/racial diversity valid criticism?

I have never seen anybody complain about the all-black casts in sitcoms like The Bill Cosby Show or The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Lack of diversity is not valid criticism. It's not crying over spilled milk. It's making a fuss about nothing.

If diversity was truly in demand, then more diversity would result in more sales and success. However, movies and video games that champion diversity usually fall flat. And if they succeed, it's not because of diversity, but because they somehow got other things right.

Man 90s TV really annoyed me, I always used to watch Sister Sister and wish that one of the two main characters could have been male so I could have understood the show better. Perhaps both of them could be White Males, would have made it a lot easier for my pre teen brain to understand.

If the TV isn't a mirror of my life, I can't relate to it, sometimes I just turn it off and look at my glum reflection in the black screen... and wait for death to take me.
