I think the point being made is that we're all assuming lineage for a black character whereas we wouldn't normally do that with white characters. Like, it's quasi-racist to go, "omg this black character must be descended from [X Black Character]!" when we wouldn't see a white character and go, "omg must be descended from Evie!" or "omg must be descended from Giulietta Capecchi!" We'd just accept the white character as new or unrelated whereas we immediately single out every black character from the past. Instead, we shouldn't speculate along such racial lines.

I don't know if I agree, but that's the argument being made.
