You are correct Voodoo Boys were from the original Pen and Paper, in which they were predominantly white guys that pretty much culturally appropriated the crap outta Voudon culture. Mike Pondsmith stated "The original Voodoo Boys were a scathing commentary on cultural appropriation". I think there were criticism of representation in Cyberpunk 2077 before launch Mike responded to the concern specifically about the Voodoo boys with "I LOVE the idea that real practicioners of Voudon moved in and took back their turf. And they even got the Creole right!". Just wanted to mention obviously one person doesnt speak for a group as a whole, nor am i defending CDPR. (i havent played the game) But if you are seeing misrepresentation in this game they clearly havent done their work or bring up important topics in an appropriate and well discussed manner, which is not only offensive but a damn shame.
If you mean Judy when you mean replaced by white people, I don't believe Judy is white? Her last name is Alverez
but yeah you are very correct on basically everything though, honestly, as an asian I mainly laughed at the stereotypical asians. but it is definitely a problem. I think its okay to show the world how it is but you have to put it in the right context. Context is important to say, this is how it is but it's not right. Great video!

Welp, of all the turns I expected the characters to take, them all getting killed off and replaced by white women wasn't on my bingo card.
