I made a similar post in one of the Star Wards threads about why there might be more sensitivity around certain subjects than in years past, attempting some sort of context.

I think most of you know the answer unless anybody wants to deny that (in this case) there is less overt xenophobia and white nationalism attitudes in public discourse than the last time we got figures of Mola Ram, Colonel Vogel, etc. which would make producing figures of dark-skinned foreign adversaries and uniformed Nazis a touchier subject.

I don't know what else to tell you guys. [shrug emoji]
