I agree that it's ridiculous to assume everyone disliking the show is a racist.
However your race-bending example is not a good analogy because MLK was a Black rights leader whereas nobody (reasonable) admires queens for their white leadership. The queen's whiteness is not a defining factor in her historical character, at least from white folks' perspective. Compare this to how many Black historical figures do have their blackness as an integral part of their character's story. There is an in-built asymmetry here which makes race-bending arguments unconvincing.
> Blacks would burn and loot
This phrase is dripping with dog whistle and I almost didn't take the time to reply. It likely accounts for all your downvotes.
You can have your cake and eat it too. You can turn the screws on the woke-religionists and their moral panic, while still acknowledging that society has a lot of growing to do on race-centered topics.
