Yes but these days it is considered racist to publish ANYTHING that portrays POC in a negative mannor.

It is important for media consumers to only associate POCs with positive attributes

You’re sort of on to something. The idea is that after hundreds of years of having skin color implicitly indicate a whether a character is smart/dumb, good/evil, etc, people are over correcting and not wanting to highlight art that follows old stereotypes, even if the natural distribution of personalities means that realistically some black people will be awful.

In time it will even out. For now people are justifiably not wanting to argue about whether their poorly educated, highly violent, dishonest, obsequious black character is bravely demonstrating that all races can be terrible, and not just a lazy racist stereotype like we’ve seen over and over for the past hundreds of years.

Exactly. As with all things labeled 'equity' rather 'equallity', we are currently testing if two wrongs do in fact equal a right.

They seem equally enthusiastic about ensuring everyone knows how evil Whites are. Chicken or egg situation.

Not disagreeing, but I noticed something: It's funny when we use the word "chauvinism" -- which means "belief in superiority" (whether in a natural "is" sense or a social "ought" sense) -- to instead mean "weakness and thirst".

It is, but I guess censors saw that strip club was in Harlem thus most of the patrons would be black, thus they are called pigs, thus it's racist. Quite a stretch to me, but only explanation why they changed it, unless they have problem with strip club visitors being called pigs which I think it's pretty appropriate even in 2023.
