So it's just a coincidence that the Sandman cast has one lead black woman just like EVERY other Netflix show?

All current TV shows are falling over each other trying to hire a gay or black token character. Double points to the casting director if they can get a black queer that covers 2 bases.

Don't forget how the only people who care will never be satisfied. Hired a black lesbian? Were they TRANS? They were? Were they FAT? They were? How dark was their skin? It was dark? Were they disabled? Physically or mentally, you need both? Self-diagnosed or diagnosed? How many kins do they have? Can you prove they don't kinshare? and so on and so forth down to "if you don't cast me, personally, you're literally Hitler."

Has anyone noticed that it’s usually White Women always being colourwashed or replaced by woc whereas they still keep the white Men? The demographic who are their sworn enemies?

It's because they tick 2 boxes, as Ike says.
Also because big black men are scary to the weedy male execs.

I think Terry Crews would beg to differ on that last bit.

Within the context of the universe it makes no sense either. All the Endless are pale gothy looking beings and resemble one another because they're related. Not to mention, they change appearance depending on the person and culture they interact with- so race is definitely part of the equation.
Basically, if you want to race swap Death you'll have to race swap the rest of the cast as well. Which I'd be fine with, just be bloody consistent. But we all know this isn't about that, and that having an all black cast is not something they want either.

They can't sell it to China with an all black cast.
