Listen closely, there is meaning in my words.

It most certainly is.
Maybe the fact people saw a black guy murdered by police thanks to a knee on his neck for 8 minutes changed the perspective of folks regarding race relations in America. And Hollywood is apart of America.
So where is the proof of this? Because I can definitely show you public instances of actors being forced to step aside against their will and them going public on it. Please show me the evidence this really is a secret firing and they have to swallow their outrage and pretend to be woke while silently cursing their poor miserable luck of making millions and shit doing their role until now?
You literally wrote fiction just now.
Well I dunno. Let's look at history.
When white people stopped portraying black people on stage and in film in the early 20th Century, did we get more diversity or less diversity? Did you see more Amos and Andy garbage or less?
When men allowed women to perform on stage as women, did we get more diversity or less? Did we get more women playwrights, or less?
When straight people left gay roles for gay actors, did we get more diversity or less? Did we gain more Will and Grace stereotypes or less?
Hmm. I guess we only need to look at reality, instead of a hypothetical.

They can't be outraged, publicly. They have to agree with it and step aside. What do you think would happen to their career if they didn't step down from an active role or issue an apology for a role on a show that has ended?

I have to wonder if this doesn't eventually lead to the issue POC VAs have faced in the past and still do to this day: typecasting.
Will POC be relegated to POC characters and white VAs to white characters? Not to mention male VAs only playing male characters and the same for female VAs? Will nobody be able to play anything outside of their race and gender?
While there certainly needs to be more diversity in voice acting, and productions should look to talent outside of the usual names, will this have essentially the opposite effect of what it's attempting to correct?
