Why is inserting white straight characters in cartoons not considered "woke" at all?

InsecureLivesMatter

Two decades ago we had cartoons like Recess and The Proud Family, and I remember watching them as a kid. No one ever complained to me about race, ever. And literally I am Caucasian (not European white).

Now here on social media I notice a lot of this "woke"ness at least according to some people. Even if there was no intent, I've seen people whine about it on posts or regarding media that feature Black and/or LGBT people.

For example, Acura posts stuff featuring Emelia Hartford a Corvette fangirl who is also a white woman, and everyone talks about how beautiful she is. But they also put up commercials with people of color and there was no intent to discuss race at all but people in the comment section still think Acura is racist for being "woke."

For instance James Bond went from a white man to a black man back to a white man and possibly is going back to a black man or even a black woman. It's always the black thing when people whine about Bond.

The irony is most of these same people brag about minorities in a certain political party/supportive of a candidate and even having minority friends as an excuse not to be racist
