It's the same kind of choice that leads to Webby used more as a main character than the original established character that was used more sparingly..
The idea that they're "pushing" or "pandering", in this case, even if somehow true, is a self-fabricated one due to your own thoughts on how they 'should' or 'shouldn't' "handle" race. In the first place, complaining about pandering is hilarious, especially in this, a Ducktales reboot, where a lot of the advertising is playing off legitimate pandering to nostalgic teens and adults. To exaggerate, if this was simply about race pandering, in your eyes they'd be making Huey indian, or whatever his voice actor is, and Mrs. Dewley black.
