I agree more or less, but avoid judging people on their inaction as you rarely can see the full picture: A person may walk passed a kid getting attacking by a gang and do nothing but they: -may have considered the odds so far against them that they wouldn't have been able to help whatsoever -have a serious heart condition that would put them at huge risk if they got worked up -have somewhere genuinely more important to get to fast etc. 9 times in 10 inaction has no such excuse, but you can't persecute somebody unless you are really sure. Then there is also weighing up the pros and cons of acting in a situation, which is somewhat subjective, and the other person may come to a different conclusion to you, even if you do know all the facts, and not necessarily be 'wrong' for their differing opinion.
As to the writing-about-POC thing, I think if I was an author and concerned about race and how many POC to include and if I could write about them fairly, I would just not mention the race of at least a good number of my characters... it's not exactly a relevant feature in the majority of stories, and if it is a relevant feature it should be pretty clear to the author whether or not they should include them.
