I'm a minority who is often "not represented" in things, and that's neither good nor bad - it's simply neutral.
The idea of "representation" is rather silly and I'm always amused by how otherwise extremely intelligent software engineers completely throw out their scientific rigor when it comes to political issues and diversity. There's simply no evidence that deliberately assured diversity has any inherent value to a software project (or any kind of project).
And this is before bringing up the can of worms that is social engineering. The nanosecond in which you introduce deliberate manipulation of what would otherwise be organically formed groups, you unrealizingly cross a line into the slippery slope of what's OK or not OK for you to manipulate, resulting in a relativistic argumentation spiral to authoritarian behavior.
