I am saddened by the thus-far lack of Brazilian characters in Rio de Janeiro, and, to be blunt, black characters in Johannesburg - I'm really, really hoping that some of the unfilled slots end up being those, because otherwise I will go to sad to annoyed. There's some great oppurtunity for diversity here, and I am seeing a loooot of white. Hell, I'll write up Mira on principle, even, despite the fact that I'm a little 'eh' about her in this setting (she is totally a Sprawl character).
And holy fuck, is LA popular. To the point where I am now kind of wishing I hadn't apped there, because Asher is totally just going to get lost in the crowd, I think :\
I also have another character concept floating around, who for now is just the Scientist (or possibly the Scientist Chick) - either Berlin or St. Petersburg, depending on which ends up fuller, most likely, although St. Petersburg gives me the bonus of being able to pester Yana for info.

Doesn't mean characters will get lost in the crowd, however, it depends on how much you play them and how much CR you create and the fact that it is that crowded is like a nestpool for CR in the first place. So don't be scared about that. There's a shitload of neutrals, so Seals/Angels/Kamui won't overshadow that either.
Secondly, black people in Jo'burg; yeah, it'd be neat to see that. However, it's near impossible to find a black anime PB and thus people app what they can, it's also hard to app a black character and a previously apartheid country, while apping LA is easy as most muns are American, here.
Hispanics in Rio; there are quite a few, maybe you aren't looking hard enough...? :x

I know, I was happy to see that - when I made this post, though, there was one Brazilian character on the approved list.
