I did not read the other book. I have no idea how different it is to Jemisin nor to history. I have no idea whether I would personally consider it bad or whether I would not cared.
In any case, fifth season is not parellel to real history nor contains stereotypes. The author goes out of her way to give distinct personality to each character and no group is composed of same-like individuals. All biological groups have members of differing opinions and personalities. Shared traits are carefully explained as result of situation.
I don't know what you mean to say by that description of orogenes and fulcrum. Black could not blendin (except few very white individuals at risk to have dark child), they were not separated to largely self-governing institution). Instead they lived in households and plantages. Blacks indeed had own dialect, but so did any group of people separated by livestyle or rules. Different classes and separated places always grow to differ in language and habits. None of it is specific to black history in United States or very closely parallel to it.
It shows that Jemisin do know how groups of people develop cultur and shows her opinion on race being social construct. It does not show special closeness to black history in USA except in some taking cues of how people behave. She is educate and knows psychology and likely sociology well.
I think that you read too much from wordplay+callouta and ignore massive massive differences between orogenes and real world blacks - both during and after slavery.
