Here's the article source: Kids’ cartoon Bluey criticised for not having ‘disabled, queer, poor, gender diverse or dogs of colour’ | Pink News.

Also here are some snippets:

“Where are the disabled, queer, poor, gender diverse, dogs of colour and single-parent dog families in Bluey‘s Brisbane?” She said. “If they’re in the background, let them come forward.”

Wang acknowledged the creators of Bluey may not “view their show through a political lens”, but she argued it is important for children’s programming to be more representative. She said the “tender, nuanced and joyful” show has already “demonstrated depth and range” in its ability to touch on important issues.

As a parent of colour, I am always conscious of the presence — or absence — of diverse representation in kids’ pop culture, what it means for children and the conversations we have around that,” Wang said. “I sincerely believe you don’t have to be ‘other’ to think about this too.”

She added that the “majority of characters on children’s television are white”, and there are “more animals than people of colour protagonists populating the pages of children’s books”. Wang wrote that television – like children’s literature – could be used to mirror the lived experiences of its viewers. But the lack of diversity in such mediums meant that some people could be missing out.

Okay, so how do they fix this? Do you have black dogs, or should they be culture specific dogs, for example, pugs and Pekingese for Chinese dogs?

LOL I feel like the woke/extreme left are more racist/prejudice than regular people. To be more "inclusive" they're going to do stereotypical shit about each race to show how "cultural educated" they are. Then add in a a couple of preachy snippets on how "it's queerphobic" to not call a non-binary trans demisexual by their preferred pronouns.
