Not all changes are for the players. The changes to remove perceived racial biases may improve inclusion for some minority of players. It may be a serious issue for those players, the game designers, or some executive. Just like real world changes to improve inclusivity, most are unaffected and simply move on.

For the changes people care about, Wizards of the Coast (WotC) publishes "Unearthed Arcana" or pre-release versions of content (e.g., bastions, the Monk class, a new Druid subclass). People will playtest the new content and WotC surveys players to get feedback. Based on the feedback, they may make additional changes or even scrap some things entirely.

> The changes to remove perceived racial biases may improve inclusion for some minority of players

Everyone is represented by the same race by the rules, just like the left wants, humans are just one race all with the same abilities. Even all genders have the same stats, so dungeons and dragons was the progressive utopia from the start where every human has no biological differences stat wise.

The only ones who see an issue are those who thinks that black people are orcs, but black people aren't orcs black people are humans just like white people.
