Any and all issues calling out wokeness as part of any problem immediately loses all credibility to me.

Agree.

If wanting to include other ethnicities in something, even if it's just to make the people with the money look better, I'm all for it.

Disagree, it's reasonable to criticize green, pink, whathaveyou washing even if there are many other worse things a company can do (discrimination, etc). I also think it's reasonable to find it offensive to depict Nazi Germany as a beacon of inclusivity.
