You might also incorporate some filtering mechanisms upstream from an actor saying no to a role — for example, I (a White cis-gendered man) get lots of matches for roles that call for Viet accents, Jamaican accents, and other dialects which I a) would not be good at, b) would not comfortable submitting for, and c) (and this is where you can help!) have never indicated on my profile that I should be considered for.

Greater care and understanding is needed in this industry — from actors, from clients, and from the platforms that connect them. I applaud you for resolving to be leaders in this regard.
