My thoughts exactly 15 to 20 years ago a cast of different races wouldn’t have even registered to me but now it’s a definite sign. One major example would be the Obi Wan show. Disney was mad that people immediately knew that the show would be about a random black female that wasn’t ever mentioned before
Oh wow! Didn’t know that. I also thought it was odd when I heard Leia was in it because that messes with the lore and New Hope. The showrunner said she had to think of a way to include Leia. The EU book Kenobi has a much better story
You can tell how bad it is when we see one black person in a bit of media and go 'woke as fuck' immediately.
This isn't an attack on this forum, I'm saying how much DEI and other such pushes have made the causal audience VERY jaded to race in media.

It's worse than that. They literally re-used the plot from Fallen Order that only came out in 2019.
It was literally the same story.

It was so stupid.
“But if Leia knew Kenobi as a child, why didn’t she bring it up in the message she made R2D2 record years later in a New Hope?”
Disney: Because FUCK YOU RACIST BIGOT
