The tokenism claim is crazy like it's not a really diverse cast of actors representing people he meets while traveling alllllll around the world. Like his in universe purpose of pursuing freedom and achieving his dream necessarily requires that he meets and develops relationships with a diverse cast of people.
If any anime series should have a diverse cast of characters that I can think of, it's one that's about travel, exploration, and a multitude of people joining an ever-larger crew.
