This is a straw man.

It's recognizing and mitigating systemic bias, where there is currently a massive bias for whiteness, maleness, heterosexuality, etc.

Consider that 65% of the US population is not white and male, yet something like 85% of the leading characters in all media are... white and male.

If you're going to argue that systemic bias does not exist, and that it's some kind of trendy passing fad to pretend that it does, you're not going to get very far before you're confronted with the statistical reality.
