(in no particular order)
These are the diverse books that I´ve read so far, I definitely need to read more diverse books.
Non-Caucasian Protagonists
The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden #1) by Julie Kagawa: The main character of the series Allison Sekemoto is Asian. I really loved this trilogy.
The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns #1) by Rae Carson: The main character of the series, Elisa has overweight and has dark skin.
Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu : Day´s main ethnicity is Mongolian.
How My Summer Went Up in Flames by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski : I read this book a long time ago, but if I remember correctly Rosalita is Italian/Mexican.
LGBTQ
Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
Proxy (Proxy #1) by Alex London
Far From You by Tess Sharpe
Made of Stars by Kelley York
Disabled Main Character
Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise #1) by Simone Elkeles
I seriously couldn´t remember a lot YA books with a main character with a disability, this one was the only one I could remember after, I stare my computer for a while.
Simone Elkeles also have a trilogy with Mexican-born male leads.
Disfigured Main Character
Lover Awakened (Black Dagger Brotherhood #3) by J.R. Ward
Again, I had to search in the listopia on goodreads to find a book that I had read that apply to the criteria.

I had no idea that Rae Carson's books featured diverse character! I will definitely be putting that one higher on my TBR!

The only one of these I've read is Leaving Paradise. Of course, I own all the rest of them, but haven't gotten to them yet. Hopefully, I will! Great list!
