Compare that to Jean, Psylocke, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Beast, Cannonball, Northstar, X-23, Pixie, Rockslide, Glob Herman, Madrox, Legion, the all white Four Horsemen of Salvation, and Nate Grey the Shaman who are all going to have significant roles.
That's not a great ratio.
It's not complaining that our favorites aren't being used, it's pointing out a pattern that the X-Books have been following for a long time now.
X-Men Gold had an all white lineup except for Storm. (Armor got added later but she didn't do anything)
X-Men Blue had an all white lineup except for Bloodstorm. (the substitute team during the Mothervine arc was better but that was temporary)
New Mutants Dead Souls had an all white lineup except for Rictor. (Karma, Dani and Prodigy were there but they weren't on the actual team roster and weren't on any of the covers or promotional material)
Astonishing X-men under Soule had an all white lineup except for Bishop, and under Rosenberg it's just Warpath.
The upcoming X-Force is just Warpath. (And Deathlok if you count the undead zombie cyborg)
There are other minorities who are being spotlighted. Iceman, Northstar, Mystique, Psylocke, Shatterstar, Rictor and nuPyro are all LGBTQ+. Magneto, Kitty and Polaris are Jewish (although Lorna seems to be going back into limbo). But from a racial stand point it's been overwhelmingly white for a while now.
X-Men Red, Generation X, Weapon X, and Exiles are the only books that have at least been trying on that front.
So yeah pointing out that in 2018 Marvel seems more afraid of showcasing racial minorities than they did back in the 80s seems fair to me. But you're saying once again we should just wait and see, and hope for the best without criticizing them to do better.
