Lego Masters: Woke for the wrong reasons

 Lego Masters is "woke" because black people simply can't win, and they're overcompensating to stay on the air.

When it comes down to it, wealthy whites represent the largest portion of people who can afford to buy thousands of Lego sets and have time to get good at sculpting with them. 

You can clearly see that the producers of Lego Masters attempted to diversify the contestants, but the non whites just weren't very skilled. It all boils down to economic factors.

Visually, you can tell who made a great build and who didn't, so the hosts knew they couldn't show preferential treatment to non whites or be accused of discrimination in reverse.

To overcompensate, they have attempted various "woke" things. While 90 percent of it is so subtle that I couldn't quite tell (other than the types of contestants selected) , the MCU themed episode was as obvious as a sledgehammer to the head.

The builds for the episode had one thing in common: Ethnic diversity.

I could tell something was up because each so called "unforgettable moment" from each movie was actually rather obscure and not something most fans would think of in connection to the films.  

At first glance, I didn't think much about it, but then my mind keeps going back to how much Amy stressed the name America Chavez, like it's her favorite superhero in the world.

I honestly doubt anyone's favorite is America Chavez. I think Miss Marvel is a better woke choice because she's not a damsel in distress/human plot device like America, and she's Pakistani.

America Chavez. Frankly, I haven't even thought about that minor side character until Amy brought it up.

Also telling of the show's unsubtle attempt to be woke, although Amy acted like America was her all time favorite, they didn't show any pictures of the character at all.

I like seeing the amazing builds, but this again reinforces why I sometimes don't care when the sound on my TV isn't working.
