For me it's just weird because I'm mixed so I just. My particular mix doesn't show up that often in general media that I watch/ed (only one that's coming to mind is Skye/Daisy from SHIELD) and isn't always visually recognizable if it does. I have a couple OCs that are Chinese-European, though (specifically because I wanted to draw and write about people who were like me), so I actually have drawn my ethnicity a lot in that sense, but I think they often read as just white so it's a little... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But yeah I've consciously pushed to include diversity in both gender and race in my art since the norm does kind of get to you-- all the 'how to draw' tutorials tend to start from thin white people (and media is also largely that visual type) and it's difficult to break out of that unless you do it on purpose. I'm currently also working on body type diversity for that reason.
