I call it pandering specifically because it’s disingenuous. It’s not a real attempt at racial inclusivity it’s going “Ah fuck we’re getting removeded at for not being inclusive. Fuck it this characters black now. They act exactly the same because we can’t be bothered to actually put in the work to make the cultural changes, but, good enough. Fuck you”

And that’s why it’s pandering. They literally just change the color of their skin without giving a single fuck about cultural identities.

Edit: Removed my first paragraph because I phrased it wrong.
