Race wasnt a big component of the story at all
I disagree with this. One of the biggest themes in Jordan's world was the interactions of the different nations and races. He went to great lengths to drive it home because it made it a more rich and realistic world.
That being said, embracing that world building and then smashing it up because of politics is silly.

It is hyper nationalistic but not really about race.
Some get conflated in areas such as the aeil but for the most part the nationalism is at the forefront. You dont see much racial conflict as compared to national rivalry

Emond Fielders are repeatedly described as "dark", and although RJ likely meant more Olive complected, I don't have a problem with the way they went with casting.
Yeah it is a little on the woke side but its not the end of the world.
Now, if they make the Andoran royal family dark complected, or some of the Aiel asian, or all of the Seanchan lily white, yeah that won't work.
I'm realllllllllllly glad they made the Whitecloaks multi-racial, because if they were all white guys that could bring too many KKK comparisons on screen.
