I'm going to ignore your ad hominem attacks to reply to only one point. After that, I'm not wasting my time on this anymore.

"Thank God here in Europe we cannot be bothered with counting POC characters"

That right there is where your logic is broken. You're applying European standards to racial issues in America. Racism and homophobia is very different in the US than the rest of the world and that's why it's so important to pay attention to the negative stereotypes presented here. The US has NOT caught up to Europe and other parts of the world when it comes to equal representation for minorities. You also have to factor in all the distinctly American historical connotations that play into those negative tropes (slavery, suffragettes, labor rights, civil rights, immigration, etc...). We are still fighting for these things that most of the rest of "civilized society" has already won and that is why people are still so outraged over Lexa's and now Lincoln's deaths.
