Different chess titles for different demographics

It is cool that we have WGM and GM because not too many women can be the GM

Would it be ok to have different titles for different ethnicities, religions and political groups as well?

It is a shame that we don't have a lot of Black grand masters for example, only 3 so far and 1 more who is kind of honorary (never achieved 2500 fide)

It is also a shame we dont have a lot of buddhist or islam GM because if we have different groups in the spotlight it shows off more facets of chess and how it is the game for EVERYONE and not just some

Also thinking what about a junior or minor GM< for people under age of consent? ?

thoughts?
Maybe we can have paraGMs for people with mental disabilities or possible emotional to prevent them from focusing for a whole game?
