People who are invoking Witcher 3 as some sort of representative beacon that acknowledges Polish/Slavic culture and therefore is entirely entitled to white-wash the entire game with zero non-White people, don't realize how Polish developers should do more to recognize non-White people. A lot of racism is taking place at the moment in Poland (and surprise: non-White Polish people do exist), so having some sort of recognition and inclusion of this way of being Polish would be on way to normalize being a non-White Polish in Polish media. My Polish friends are similarly concerned when they see that people are using a Polish video game to argue that Slavic culture with "dragons and trolls and vampires" should be entirely White.
People are basically arguing "Slavic culture = Only White People", which is a bit concerning, along with "claims of diversity is only an American issue". No, diversity is a European and Polish issue, and Slavic culture *is not* only White People.
