I understand the show is British, and most British people are white, but hear me out. The Doctor can travel anywhere in time and space, why does he almost always find himself amung white people?

The doctor literally has a magic transport that means he's never forced to stay in a place where BIPOCs exist and they're surprised he hangs out with white people?
People mostly stopped during Matt Smith's time because he was a bit too wacky and the metaplot was pretty boring. Capaldi definitely brought some back but also lost just as many due to the hit or miss nature of his time (mostly miss, mind, but the hits were bangers; Heaven Sent is still a GOAT episode), and then Jodie Whittaker and the dyslexic ginger have just been bleeding viewership their entire runs.
Yes, it is inherently white. But with his flexible time schedule and his ability to morph physically into a Black man, the Doctor represents a fantasy that, one day, white men may be able to self-liberate from the strictures of white supremacist hegemony.
(The image refers to the United States, but we can suppose much of it was inherited from across the Atlantic)
I won't even mention his extremely non-traditional family structure, involving, mostly, teleporting around the UK and picking up 20 year old women semi-consensually, in stark defiance of the commonly accepted behaviors of a 3000 year old white man (who is occasionally a Black man or a woman).

Red Dwarf proves that diversity works. You got a white guy, a mixed guy, and a cat.
