Have you ever been watching a movie and there were black-only commercials? I find them fascinating, since they're targeting a demographic with nearly identical ads, but where all the actors "look like you" instead of a multi-racial politically correct casting. That marketing function to appeal to people on a familial and slightly racist level is perfectly reasonable to me, and I see these minority-only shows as just targeting a certain demo the same way those ads do. Pandering to racists shouldn't be illegal, nobody is forcing anyone to watch televised media, and it probably attracts more than it alienates.
If it's too woke for comfort, then they will lose viewers, as we have seen. If it's throwing in a token Hispanic for the Latino Housewife demographic, then more power to `em. It's a free country.
Edit: I get that you're pointing out the hypocrisy, but it's not like it's hurting anyone (but possibly their ratings).
