An artist could create a story in which a white person dies and goes to a fictional and magical Japan or a fictional and magical Africa, and it wouldn’t be a problem because there are no limits to fiction. But if they made a story in which a Mexican person dies and goes to a magical and fictional Europe, there would be problems. Why are there no limits for white people in fiction, but are there limits for minorities?
same reason why every black person in all positions is considered DEI even when they have decades of relevant experience pages, graduated top of their class in ivy league schools, and some white guy with middling experience, possibly even in the wrong field… gets put in and nobody questions it.
