If Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and Spider-Man have roughly the same cast, that's a problem. No setting has a voice. They're all interchangeable. Period and setting become a backdrop and nothing more.

I'm not saying that you can't tell a version of Mulan where she leads a diverse team including a Native American lesbian, a Black man, a White man, and a Native American man against the enemy. But I'm saying don't cry racism if someone makes another version a later on that is more accurate to the historic setting. Don't block somebody from doing that film because it doesn't meet the quota. Don't tell them that they have to set the next version of Mulan in the 27th century so that everyone can be invited to the party.

If you think it's racist to not want literally every film to have a Captain Planet or Power Rangers cast, then your definition of racism is far too broad.
