Apparently, Netflix has a new series about WWII that deals with the 
rarely-discussed 6888th Battalion. This unit of brave women had one of 
the hardest jobs in the entire war: sorting the mail! Seriously, this is 
apparently Netflix's take, according to this review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0dQRXc92RY [6 minutes]

I haven't seen this and, based on the review, I am not going to watch 
it. However, I would like to share this comment beneath the video:

=======================================================================
I’m a black woman and I approve of this message. I’m so sick of this 
sh*t. Hollywood has me so tired, that I’m at the point where I don’t 
want to see ANY stories whatsoever about black people pre-civil rights. 
They’ve beaten this horse to death. 🐴 ☠️ So much so that now when a 
black person even pops up on my screen on any new show or film, no 
matter what time period, I roll my damn eyes.
=======================================================================

And there you have it: when even the intended target audience is 
contemptuous of the garbage that is being produced for them, it's really 
time to get off the Woke bandwagon and try something else, like the many 
well-considered suggestions made in the review that honour actual 
heroism and bravery by non-white males in WWII.
