Don't worry, this isn't something they actually believe. They're just trying to craft a narrative. I worked there for 5 years, and in that whole time nobody on the publishing end of the company said anything that even hinted at them giving a shit about fun.
When people start getting concerned over the number of immigrants only when those immigrants are identifiable by skin tone, it's probably racist. No one seems to have given a flying fuck about the number of immigrants in low paying jobs when those immigrants were white.
