Infact representation is cancer. Representation is the grave of diversity.
You want to see diversity? See, for example, the first, 1982, lineup of the New Mutants. A white American, a Native American, a Vietnamese, a Scottish, a mixed-race Brazilian. Two males, three females.
Those characters worked because their different backgrounds and look made for interesting stories, both visually and plot-wise (compare it, IE, with the uniformity of the first, 1963, X-Men lineup. Marvel learnt something in those 20 years).
But they were not meant to represent anyone else but themselves.
When your character is meant to represent a group, it ceases to be interesting. It can't have defects, because those would be the defects of the group. The only kind of growth allowed is for him to discover how awesome he already is and how much listening to others was keeping him down. And that's the death of a character.
