This. ^^
No one blinks an eye when a PNM notes that a chapter is full of drop-dead gorgeous beauty pageant types ("But WAIT! I'm SURE the chapter has plain/fat/fugly girls because it's, you know, DIVERSE. They must all have been back in the kitchen, pouring out the ice waters,") or blondes ("But WAIT! Did you examine the roots of their hair? I'm sure there were some brunettes lurking in there somewhere.") Honestly, sometimes a quick scan around the room tells you where you stand in the scheme of things.
I think that the OP has done an exemplary job of keeping an open mind.
