Is this really a pattern or am I just paranoid?

I was watching the trailer for the upcoming movie “Sinners” and some right-wing comments are saying that the movie is DEI. The movie is new with new and original characters. Isn’t that what they said to do?

    Sinners has black characters?! FFS, it’s set in 1930s Mississippi, there weren’t, and still aren’t, any black people there!

      I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but black people comprised a sizable amount of the population of Mississippi, predating the Civil War and through mid-20th century, as it’s a large cotton plantation state.
