Only on book three, so far there's a Jewish inventor of the space drive, a foul mouthed but wise pajeet grandma politician with her soy husband, strong independent mongrel women, south east Asian doctor looking for his daughter, interracial lesbian pastor, oh and foolish/violent huwite men. shitskins diversity IN SPACE!

I read the whole series once. I generally quite enjoyed it, though it got worse the longer it went on. The book you're on was about the weakest, IIRC. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone read at least Book 1.
There's a non-binary space captain later.
I thought the diversity stuff was handled pretty decently as it just was there. Nothing was lingered on. Besides, given today's demographics, you can guess what the future of humanity is going to look like in 200-300 years.
The author, "James S.A. Corey" is actually two people. Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. Ty was George RR Martin's assistant. Just as GRRM, whose writing I very much enjoy, is an activist SJW leftist, so Ty and Daniel.
(Did anyone else remember that in Ender's Game, the famous general, Mazer Rackham, was a Maori from New Zealand?)
There's an old and persistent strand of science fiction writing that is obsessed with religion. I see these books as just more of that.
