in animal crossing you used to be able to tan your character by staying in the sun for a while, https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Tan but now the option is gone and replaced with choosing your skin color at the beginning of the game just so they can cater to blacks.

I think it's less about catering to blacks and more about having the character be amorphous and look like anything regardless of the environment. The original animal crossing built your character based on a conversation you had on the train, you had no ability to directly affect what your character looked like. it was neat because it made your character part of the world, instead of a self-insert.
now they have to cater to narcissists and trannies who throw a hissy fit if their character doesn't look exactly the way they want it to.
