> However I feel that it's going to far, for example I started reading a novel the other day but gave up a third of the way through because every character was some form of LGBT or interracial or something. It made the story seem fake and unrealistic.

This is me with TV show and movie diversity. People in real life don’t sit down to dinner with an even proportion of Asians, Hispanics, white people and black people. I’m in an interracial marriage and day to day live involves less diversity than that.
