Do you know why I say it is political/ideological? It is because YOUR world view is what is separating people and implementing policies to increase division. By emphasizing a person's colour all you do is label them as different. By saying that POC need POC characters in game, you are dehumanizing us. You describe us as a group that is removed from the rest of human kind. A group that cannot empathize with and enjoy stories about people who do not look like us. Your political ideology is built on racism and I refuse to play along with that game.
GR11: I would differentiate a little. There are actually people who try to use minorities to stir up prejudice against western countries, paint them as ''intolerant' or create conflicts. But there are also some who fall for this and *actually* believe they would do something good. Do you know why I say it is political/ideological?

Take for example the current burning of JK Rowlings books :O Sure, some people incite such stuff on purpose because Rowling is not adhering to their ideology or her books would be too "conservative". But others truly believe Rowling would have said or done something evil - because they never looked up what she actually said.
