I don't tend to pay attention to the gender/racial background of the authors I read, I just read whatever sounds interesting to me. I was curious so I looked up my Goodreads for the past several years and it seems that I read an average of 30% white men/70% women/non-binary/non-white men. Not sure if that's bad or not.

I mean, same. I'm just looking for a book that isn't complete shite, I don't care who wrote it. Is it a good story, a great rollicking adventure with some quality character development? Great! That's all I want!

The only concern I have is if a very under-explored or marginalized culture is mined for mythology and set dressing - I'd rather someone who has direct experience with it write it versus some white guy who googled a wiki on "x-country mythology." But even that isn't a guarantee and as others have pointed out, all someone has to do is use a pen name that sounds "right" and everyone gets fooled.
