I think they were addressing an implied specificity in your question. You were asking about American-based media or media for US audiences without explicitly saying that.

For instance, Get Out wouldn’t have hit the same if the entire cast had been white. The racial tension is the point.

Because it sounds like you are saying we accept The Ring remake being a white cast. But if Ringu had been remade with a non-white English speaking cast it would be called woke by US right-wingers. (Even though it’s Japanese fiction. At least I hope it is fiction)

Siothe other person is asking, I think, if Japan remade Get Out for the Japanese audience and used Japanese speaking white and black people, would Japanese right-wingers lose their shit and call it woke for not casting ethnically Japanese actors?

The follow-up question becomes: is it a right-wing issue regardless of the race or nationality of right-wingers or is it a uniquely US problem because of the ignored national diversity of the overall population?
