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.

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