Scooby-Doo is now WOKE

When a Warner Bros. representative announced last week that “Scooby-Doo” character Velma Dinkley would be reprised as East Asian.

Original Velma in the orange turtle neck.

Seems, unnecessary and politically charged to me.

Actually this is the total opposite of being woke. They are stereotyping the short intelligent geeky girl to be asian.

Woke would be to give all the characters a different ethnic background and also change their gender preference. This is just stupid tokenism
