    Yes. Any movie or series with a minority member as the protagonist is attacked for being “woke” even if their minority status isn’t a plot point. There is no winning, if their minority status is the focus of the movie, people complain that there isn’t anything else to the character, if their minority status isn’t the focus, people ask why they have to be a minority if it adds nothing to the story.

    People complain about remakes changing a character’s race and say they should make new and original characters for that race, but when they are featured in new and original stories, people still complain.
