The lack of diversity in genetic studies is a huge problem. This one isn't just moral, either: we're ignoring the richness of allelic diversity that is found in people throughout the world (particularly in Africa, which has the most genetic diversity because of its pre-bottleneck status). There is an awareness and I think you'll see big changes here in the next few years.
