Why are Americans so obsessed with this? One of my three closest friends is an openly gay man and although he consumes mostly American LGBT media, I've never seen him bothered by representation, or the lack thereof.

I'm a PoC myself, and people from my country usually also don't care to see representation on screen and most attempts to pander to our ethnic demographic are met with mockery. Like, if it's important for your culture then by all means go for it, just don't expect the rest of the world to think or want the same,that's also a firm of imperialism.
