What’s with lack of diversity in Star Wars? There are tons of aliens. Remember, it takes place in a galaxy far far away. Human beings are a minority of the beings found in the worlds of Star Wars. Right? What am I missing?

There was diversity in Harry Potter too-- remember this guy?

I don't either, but he was in there

It seems that humans are by far the majority species in the galaxy; there’s plenty of aliens, but about half the people you run into are human.

Billy Dee Williams doesn't like the "need more diversity" talk any more than the rest of us.

Some asked him how growing up as a black man in America prepared him for his roles, to bring something to the Star Wars franchise. He said that he was inspired by the rogues in American movies (pirates, film noir). He said it wasn't anywhere near our world, that his personal life experiences didn't come into play.
