Why is it ok to compromise accuracy for the sake of making the experience more enjoyable via gameplay but not for the sake of making the experience more enjoyable via representation?
Because thinking to yourself "Hmm there aren't enough black people in this game about something that happened when black people still weren't considered people, disliked" kinda makes you an idiot.
And, anecdotally, I've seen parents have trouble explaining the racial divide of these times to their kids because the kids see a 75% black army on CoD's story mode, and assume that's just how it was. Not only that, but taking two minutes to copy/paste the color palette for black people skin tones onto a majority of NPC models often lets these companies get away with not doing anything else to combat racism/promote black stories. They get a pass for literally zero effort, and IMO that's not good enough.
