The knight is the perfect example of how making things ‘more diverse/inclusive’ ends up making it more like a standard fighter instead of an unique class of its own.

Authentic knights would be like the paladin class.
The only thing not accounted for is “To respect the honour of women” (source : ( http://www.lordsandladies.org/knights-code-of-chivalry.htm )

Modernise the class and it starts to lose flavour

The samurai class has similar problems when you consider that such characters are supposed to commit suicide when they fail to protect their master or do something dishonourable … not exactly something that works in the medieval themepark that is Forgotten Realms.
