The genre is science fiction, although it's all humans in a different galaxy somewhere in the future. My issue is, when I think of the characters, I always think of them as a bunch of white men (besides my main character and a few the minor characters, I think of as white women). I was going over a friend's fantasy storyboard on Pinterest and his characters are all different races, genders, etc.
How much does this really matter? I know I've fallen into a trap of having a mostly mono-cultural main planet, but since diversity is not a theme of the story, I feel like making it an issue would take away from the actual characters and plot. For what it's worth, their races and physical hair-eye descriptions are never mentioned, with one exception.
