How do u create diverse characters?

sangled:

1. be someone who is rarely represented
2. use your life-long disappointment to create a wide range of characters with underutilized combinations of backgrounds and traits
3. make a lot of them the thing you wanted to see growing up, blatantly indulging yourself but not giving half a shit about it
4. bonus step: make an overly represented group the minority as an extra spiteful move
