"First is the diversity of the characters. It's not all white people" I read The Wizard of Earthsea when I was 11, and didn't even notice the race of the characters. I don't think much of it is made in the book. It's just a passing description. Much, much later, as an adult I heard someone mention it, and I went back and checked and sure enough they were right. But the characters' race had absolutely nothing to do with why I loved the book. The characters could have been blue, or purple, or glowing orange for all I cared. The book was not about that.
