So if a novel is set in, IDK, New York, and every character the reader sees is white, you're fine with that as long as the author says in an interview, "since someone asked about an important character B: B is black, I just never mentioned it in any way"? That, in your opinion, counts as writing a character of color into a setting where characters of colors should, according to Earth logic, be a part of population?

Actually if she never mentions the races of any of the characters and it's in any way shocking to a reader when she says "by the way, character B is black", that says a lot more about the reader than it does the author. Why wouldn't character B be black?

Yes, because heterosexuality was not showcased at any point in the entire Harry Potter series. No sirry Bob.
