Problem is Finn also suffers from an insufferable woke actor. Boyega not only played the race card multiple times throughout the Disney Trilogy, including shouting down someone who tried to make a comparable statement, but he also proved he has zero fucking clue about other projects when he's working on them. His role in Pacific Rim 2 also included helping with the writing and yet he specifically called for the PR2 main Jaeger to have swords on both arms because [paraphrasing] "in a sequel you should have more". Gypsy Danger already had swords in both arms. You see it deploy both in the last fight because one of them gets immediately torn off with most of the arm by one of the Kaiju. The same Kaiju that is then bifurcated by the other sword arm moments later.
I'm still mad at the way the fat asian creature not only cucked him out of an actual, genuine heroic sacrifice, but how the usual metoo clapped as she stole him a kiss (a grave systemic double-rape crime on a minority in current year +10) as the giant fuck-you-laser blew up the last remnants of the resistance in the background.
Finns story should (the initial part) have been a comic book or novel arc. It wasn't appropriate for the big main story. But really the entire premise of the TFA was retarded and was just an excuse to do a fanservice cashin.
Yeah, the pro-human stance of the Empire was definitely a thing, such that seeing any non-human having anything official to do with the Empire was a sign of superior merit (See: Thrawn).
You know, it is kinda funny how much they've tried to "diversify" the Empire at this point. Yeah, they're the bad guys, but were still bad guys we could enjoy to watch in the past. And the moment they "diversified" the bad guys, you couldn't even do that anymore.
Ironically, it seems like they made the Resistance markedly less diverse than it was in the past. There are significantly less non-human characters than there were in the original and prequel trilogies. In fact, the most prominent alien character in the OT, Chewbacca, was religated to the role of family dog/Uber driver.
A lot of confusion came from the prequels showing us that the first stormtroopers were clones of Jango Fett. Many casual fans didn't know that the clones were fazed out over time as the Empire became established.
TFA was the last Star Wars thing I've had anything to do with. Finn absolutely had the most potential for amazing characterization. ABSOLUTELY WASTED.

If the Empire are space Nazis, what does that make the Diversity Alliance? Space Nation of Islam?

Technically he was still on the poster, you just needed a magnifying glass to find him after they literally marginalized him.
