They also dig into the way colonization and decolonisation have effected different BIPOC people and their background does include fairly diverse NPC people.
Not very surprisingly, my impression at this point is that disability vs ability was the weakest link There are a couple graphic that highlight people sitting in wheelchairs, but there feels like a lot more could have been done in topics covered.
