Should Iowa be first?

Lots of talk on TV that Iowa should not be the first state in the process of selecting a presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.
Some people are saying the state is not diverse enough, and also that it’s mostly a red state.
Does diversity matter? Iowa chose Obama (a black guy as we all know) and now it’s neck and neck with Buttigieg (the gay guy) the probable winner.
Is Iowa so white it’s naive about race issues? Is Iowa so white it can’t speak for minorities? Or, is Iowa so colorblind that they do represent America? Is America more colorblind than people want to believe?
This isn’t a Q about caucuses vs A straight primary vote, it’s just about the people of Iowa and whether they should be deciding which candidate gets that initial nudge.
