Part 9/12:
The narrative of critics being racist is dismissed by the speaker as a convenient smokescreen used by Hollywood elites to divert attention from the real issue: creative choices driven by identity politics.

The speaker explicitly calls out critics who defend these changes by dismissing objections as racist—labeling such reactions as an unfair and lazy tactic. The entire culture war over representation and authenticity is framed as a effort to suppress fans’ personal investment and hobby-centered passion.
