And no one complained.
So there's nothing new here.

It's okay if it's a token role.

It's only when they take "their" leading roles that their manhood feels threatened...

Huh? Manhood threatened? Nobody thinks their manhood is threatened. They just think it's stupid woke casting.

Geordi cosplaying as Watson in a holodeck simulation isn’t the same thing.

Geordi was pretending to be Watson for recreation. If the Enterprise had gone back in time to London in the 1890s and encountered Holmes and Watson, and Watson was black, it would have been a completely different situation.
