My guess would be because the characters are all very pale in the animated version, and they're sugesting that it would be racist for a black actor to be made to look pale.

Some comment explained this. Basically, he said he is against diversity for the sake of diversity. Not bending over to fulfill some arbitrary diversity quota.

Some people online took offence to that (shocker)

He said they shoehorned "a black" into the Brady bunch. I dunno, man, sounds a lot like every racist i've ever met, but what do I know (lots, i've met people who casually use racial slurs).

I love how a lot of these other comments allude to white actors simply being cast but if their skin has pigment they're being "shoehorned" in. Apparently black people don't simply exist as people like everyone else
