I am African (Ghanaian). I have never had any issue with diversity because we are almost all black. Therefore I have never learned to see colour. So if the main character is white, black, Hispanic, Asian -- I don't care and I have never cared. I only care for a memorable story, with great lessons, and relatable, unforgettable characters.
But this Naomi character sucks!!! She's awkward and very cringey. Her character feels unrealistic.
I wish movies today will stop playing the game of identity politics and just give us good stories and lovable characters. We in Africa also watch your (American) movies. And I know for sure that the overwhelming majority don't give a hoot about the race of the characters. We just want a good movie!!!
