I agree with most of what you said here. But the 1 thing in particular I want to discuss is your comment on the Bechdel Test for minorities.

As a half Mexican and half Caucasian (German) American, Texas college student, and a Christian (specifically Baptist), 1 thing I look for in films and tv shows is diversity in the race, ethnicity, and most recently LGBT characters in media. While this is not an official test/truly makes a movie or series better, I just use this to determine said film/series as "diversified." And I created this not too long after discovering what the Bechdel Test is so there are some similarities to it.

My (Unofficial) Minorities/POCs in Film/Television Test: Rule 1) Are there at least 2 named minority characters? By MINORITY I mean literally any type of minority; (non-white, non-Christian, LGTB, or foreign characters). Rule 2) Do these 2 have any lines of dialogue? It isn't enough to have a minority character that doesn't say or do anything; they need to have some dialogue throughout the film or at least 1 line every episode they appear in. Rule 3) Is at least 1 not a stereotype or intentionally insulting character? This 1 is the most debatable since what is offensive to 1 group of people may not be offensive to another group, but so long as the character is not intentionally written badly/as a stereotype that's all that matters here. Rule 4) Does 1 survive till the end of the film/series? This 1 is the most self-explanatory/obvious, but the hardest to do for ALOT of films/shows that often have just 1 minority character who dies later.
