Scooby Doo is one of the most well known and beloved animated TV shows since it launched in the 1970's. Recently HBO got the rights to make a new TV series based on the characters of the original show. They created a TV show based on the character of Velma, depicting her background story.
As a surprise to nobody, and because everything must convey The Message, and everything that's deemed as "white culture" has to be changed, they, obviously, race-swapped her.
But that's not the only thing that they changed about her.
You see, in the original series Velma was a very kind, polite, innocent, likeable, clumsy and intelligent person (essentially the "brains" of the group).
In this new series she's a complete bitch. She's extremely and obnoxiously rude to everybody, she makes fun of people (even those showing interest in her), she insults people, she's even violent against people, and she (ironically) just loves calling everybody else a "bitch".
The funny thing is that, by doing this, the creators of this new series have inadvertently depicted a racist stereotype. Where the original white Velma was kind, polite, innocent and very likeable (and in fact, one of the most liked characters of the original show by fans), the new black Velma is very rude, obnoxious, vocal and abrasive, acting completely like an "angry black woman" stereotype.
In other words, they made her "black" in more than just outwards appearance. And not in a good way.
The far left just can't help but engage in accidental racism, against the very people they claim to be fighting for and protecting.
