I believe they are asking why should it matter the VA race but not the race of the person who wrote the character, or designed the character, or animated the character.

The only reason it's possible in voice acting is because actors have unions. I'd see nothing wrong with other labor unions demanding that studios hire minorities to write, design, and animate too

We should be expanding the standard, not tearing it down.
