That's what I especially hate, they're not even creative enough to come up with a metaphor that's accessible to all audiences, they just pull out some "durrrr police brutality" shit over and over and it's tiring.
It also assumes some kind of a universal "fate" where no matter the setting, the exact same shit happens. Like black-ish looking people are always victims. Women are always victims.
Like you can build up a whole planet from 0 and it still ends up with the exact same people getting the exact same outcome. Does that mean they are destined to suck?
Holy shit, HP is almost isekai, I just understood this and you blew my mind a bit. :D

You accidentally stumbled into one of the oldest and most divisive philosophical arguments.
Does a man choose his fate, or is it chosen for him?
Much of what the SJW types write is unintentionally based because they will unwittingly touch on the truths of reality without realizing.
Blacks and women are glorified children without agency and are subject to the whims of the divine.
Strong white men have the ability to break divine conditioning.
Compare and contrast the story and plot setups from recent comics between something like Iron Heart (black female child iron man) and the Red Skull. It's hilarious how blatant it is and the writers have no clue what they're doing.
goes back to at least Alice in Wonderland and probably a lot further
A lot further considering Lewis Carroll wasn't born until 1832 and other stories such as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty were around before then. Snow White was published back in 1812 by the Brothers Grimm and Sleeping Beauty can stretch as far back as the 14th century.
While not entirely embracing the isekai concept of "character finds out they are special and gets a fantastical life" the aforementioned stories still revolve around the protag being special in some way that the story revolves around them and isn't even limited to such romance stories like those above. The 'Kingsman' films are the male equivalent where a random young adult male finds out he has a special life and gets whisked away to become a super-spy because of the secret life his father had.
Spoilers ahead.
Sure the Kingsman story still requires the protag to put in the effort to get through the training but the basic premise remains that "a good man suddenly finds himself in a new world because he's special". Even his failures repeatedly end up being merits considering his crappy life is only crappy because he drops out the army to take care of his family, and he fails the training because he's empathic and doesn't want to shoot the dog he adopts which then ends up leaving him as one of the few people left to actually stop the world domination plot.
