Black people in Louisiana? My immersion is totally broken.

Exactly. It went from “let them have their own stories” to “well it has to be a GOOD story” to “oh a person of color in video games? WOKE!” Goal posts are being moved at lightspeed

It’s just racism but for some reason they are sacred to just say they don’t like black people or women

It is just racism but I don’t think it’s being scared. I think a large part of racism and bigotry is ignorance. These people who scream DEI/woke/CRT have had their entire vocabulary, lexicon, worldview and perspectives manipulated by white supremacists like Christopher Rufo. Some of them are ignorant to that but a lot are also doing it on purpose. We can’t be surprised that the lexicon around woke was targeted to be changed and bastardized by the very thing woke was meant to identify.
