There is a good way to have diversity and inclusiveness and a bad way to have it. When things are done the right way, barely anybody complains. 

General rules for the good and the bad:

Good Diversity

  • Settings where it makes sense
  • Good character development for minority characters
  • Don't make inclusiveness focus of your marketing or brag about it how you have it

Bad Diversity

  • Shoehorning diversity into settings where it doesn't make sense
  • Changing the races of established characters just so you can have a minority character
  • Bragging about your diverse cast
  • Adding minority characters just for the brownie points, then giving them crappy character development

Not that I fully agree with these rules but I don't understand why they would be rules for minority characters specifically and not characters period? Things like settings and character development are equally important for white males.
