I find it a bit telling that the two women and the two non-white characters get so little love in fandom
Telling, yes, but in this case more about the movie than the fandom. Yusuf has so little to do in the film - we don't get to see him at work with his chemicals the way we see the others at work and once the heist begins he's sidelined (present and doing cool stuff, but he's not interacting with anyone). Mal is similarly difficult to get a handle on because she's not even real: although we learn her story we can't rely on anything we see to be accurate. I could write Projection!Mal but I could write her in reality. Not yet, anyway.
I mean, we don't even know what Yusuf's totem is! (Well, I do 'cause I made it up and Saito needs to make one!).
We don't know what Eames uses, either. Or even if he has one.

If you say so. *shrugs* I don't see it.
