I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I'm surprised you continued to watch all 18 hours of the show if you're not a fan of "woke diversity". You should've stopped after seeing Uncle Clifford in the first episode of season one. "Woke" as a pejorative is recent phenomenon, to a word that originated in the 60's and initially meant to be aware of the systemic ideologies that try to separate us all as humans.
"Wokeness" within entertainment is not a recent thing. In Marilyn Monroe's Some Like It Hot in 1959 Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis dressed up as women, a lot of comedians like Monty Python dress up as women, pantomime dames are always played by men, Lily Savage was a host on prime time TV, Hilary Swank and Amanda Bynes have dressed up as men in films, The Wayans Brothers were white girls, Josh Brolin as a white guy playing a purple CGI alien called Thanos was one of the greatest performances ever in cinematic history and Don Cheadle played the eco-friendly role of Captain Planet LOOOOL.
I'm a cis-gendered heterosexual man that loves paying to see beautiful Black women at strip clubs in real life. So if a fictional show about them features one non-binary main character in it, then personally speaking it doesn't feel like it's being forced down my throat or detract from the overall product. If it bothered me that much, then I can always change the channel and watch something else.
I hope you'll watch season three and please don't take my rebuttal to your post as me trying to "cancel" you. My opinion is worthless.
