And, honestly, where does it stop? You have to have one of the seven be black? What about one of them being gay, or Asian, or Muslim, or Jewish, or Transgender? It's just such contrived nonsense. Build up non-white, non-cis, non-male, non-Christian as much as you want but you do it by tokenism or quotas people will rebel against them as it's both insulting and ham-fisted to pretty much everyone. Worse, it continues the increasingly worrying trend of dehumanizing people by making them nothing more than whatever narrow group they identify as or are identified with.
