We’re you equally upset that popular rap music in the 80s and 90s didn’t tell stories about growing up in a small village in the Czech Republic?

Better go ask Nas and Dr. Dre why they won’t write songs about Europeans lol.

But let me guess - you have some convoluted reason why it is okay in one direction but not the other….

Poetry and speculative fiction are two entirely different things.

There's a very big population of non-white people or even non-European people in the world. I'm glad that you think that representing even one of those groups who at least makes up half the global population is the same as the obscure experience of a small village in a small country in Europe.

Unfortunately for you, I am just as happy at the idea of the Czech people getting represented as any other group. You're the one who has a vested interest in defending ideologies that exclude them. :(

It's not exclusion to be against diversity quotas. Let people write about what they want and stop worrying about representation. It really doesn't matter the way people want you to think it does. The only reason to push representation is if you have ulterior motives a la social engineering.
