I thought so too, but I looked into it, and it may have been blown out of proportion. Then never specifically mentioned race, they said the aggregate of most popular character creation choices made the MC look like a "default vault dweller" or something. Still not the best look, but perhaps they were honestly disappointed more people weren't using the weirder options.
Still not a good look, especially considering "default vault dweller" was basically the foregone conclusion, but may not have been as woke as people (myself included) made it out to be at the time.
I simply don't know enough about the game in its current form to know how woke it is.
Larian are basically your average woke-adjacent normies. They want to conform to the progressive world view, but also aren't actual activists. They prefer "fun" and being non-political. But they will allow the infiltration of all the activist ideas, because they don't want to have uncomfortable discussions with the press/institutions and all their lackey followers.
