Are you being obtuse on purpose? Even if a story is based on African mythology, it would still be attacked by right-wingers, as it's a pattern of right-wing behavior to attack works centered on minorities. The US isn't a white country, it's a multiracial country. Being a multiracial country, it should be normal to have a story with minority characters, but the mere existence of a Black protagonist is enough for them to say it's woke. In fact, whether a country is predominantly Black, Asian, or white is irrelevant. An author could create a story where a white person dies and is reincarnated in Japan with the mission of saving Japanese people, and there would be no complaints. Put a Black, Mexican, or any other minority character as the protagonist in a Japanese story, and you'll see right-wingers attacking. The point is: there are no limits to fiction when it comes to white characters, while minority characters must give thousand explanations as to why they exist, otherwise it's forced representation.
