That's because the executives just care about the bottom line.
whoah BLM and chatter about racism? Then it's either "better safe than sorry, this could be bad, even though nobody is talking about it" or "if we do this people will like us! We'll appear anti-racist!" Alternatively "people'll get mad, it'll boost us and we lose the potential risk of hosting the episode. Win win." There's no ideology involved.
And then there's the Fawlty Towers thing which was obviously shady as hell when you look into it.
and in the end you just get all the BLM and anti-racist activists getting the blame even though they're confused about the episode delistings too.
