Basically, Americans have become obsessed with "diversity", so now Hollywood tries to have an exact amount of races, sexuality , genders, etc in every movie.

So each scene must have at least 1 Asian, 1 African American, 1 Non-Binary and so on. This takes priority over story building, acting and all else and thus majority of these movies turn out to be a flop.

Additionally, it weaponizes the right (i.e conservatives) to mock the left and in turn people on left (i.e liberals) so we end up with with both sides calling each other nazis, extremists, wokes,.. all of this is amplified by social media.

It is both comical and sad and the same time.
