Are you saying diversity in art is signified by the artist's race and sex?

Bias is inherit in the choice of training material. I'm saying that diversity of expression is product of diversity of experience.
It must be, ultimately, because all art is individual or group expression, and each person can only belong to so many groups. But the individual expression still allows for a giant amount of expressiveness, and the group expression is wider than race or sex.
