Even in cases where it doesn't really matter what race the characters are, like The Little Mermaid or Ghostbusters, it's usually a red flag for a lazy retelling where the film makers are going to respond to criticisms about how lazy it is by whining about racism.
Something like Bridgerton is in the middle, where they acknowledge what's going on, that it's historical revisionism, and people think that's fun. I haven't watched it to see if it's any good or not.
“We typically have the same group of offenders every week that are recognizable by face and by name, just loitering and hanging out,” he said. “A small percentage of people are ruining it for the rest of the community that deserves to go to their grocery store and their library.”
Computer, add "loiterers" to the list.
In countries like the States, seethe ensues when corporations move their stores out of crime-ridden areas. Seethe ensues when corporations stay in crime-ridden areas but put their merchandise behind protective casings. Seethe ensues when mom-and-pop stores put up bars or barriers in front of their merchandise or themselves (that's what's most problematic about black-on-Asian crime; Asians daring to protect themselves and make blacks feel unwelcome).
Just tell us what store-owners are supposed to do. I guess keeping your store in place and enjoying the vibrancy with a smile on your face is what store-owners are supposed to do.
In that respect, state-sponsored grocery and other stores make sense. When corporations and problematic individuals fail to be Empathetic and Decent Beings, the state would need to step-in and use taxpayer funds to be on the Right Side of History.
And then when the usual outcomes remain, one can bounce back and forth between the epicycles of Social Constructs, Socioeconomic Factors, Food Deserts, Food Security, Nutritional Security, Micronutritional Equity, Microbiome Equity, Factors from Other Ways of Knowing.
The state-sponsored grocery stores not delivering the promised outcomes would just mean the racists and stingy net-pax-payers prevented such outcomes from happening, and more tax-payer money and Inclusion would need to be devoted to the matter to pwn the racists and eat the rich.

You don't have to say anyone's name, but "Fentanyl Floyd" is just obnoxious boo-lighting and very explicitly waging the culture war.

Why aren't they charging men more then? Or do you believe women are less savvy than men?
