Would be valid if it continued with "but these real life minorities are shit" and not "webcomics authors often only write about minorities for woke points and are bad at any storytelling beyond creating stereotypical token minority characters".

Yet the preferred world of the OP still results in fewer minorities in the comics.

OP here. In my opinion it's quality over quantity. I don't see why every single character of a fiction should represent a minority. How much research can one author do for all ~15 of them, realistically? Not every story needs to represent every possible demographic, that's a ridiculous thing to demand. If it represents even ONE type of minority with nuance and authenticity, that's already a better outcome than 99% of mainstream fiction out there.
