I would disagree with that. Anyone who has had contact with the YA publishing industry will be aware for the ubiquitous calls from literary agents for #Ownvoices authors (where the voice is a minority voice). Judging by these very active calls, I can only assume that being a minority is an advantage to at least being considered for publication, at least in the YA arena.
