The racial composition of characters in The Last of Us series is the same as it was in the game, released in 2013 before identity politics was even on the zeitgeist.

I say this as a straight non-religious white man who is disgusted by Trump and the fact that people support him.
Making the main character and his brother hispanic is not "the same" as the game, especially when the remaining straight white non-hispanic men in the show are absolutely awful.
Or take the US version of The Office, where the one Christian character is a running joke, an awful person with terrible takes not meant to be taken at all seriously. Can you imagine how it would've gone over if the one black or hispanic character on the show was just a running joke?
