Heck, we had GTA SA, where Samuel jackson played a black cop treating CJ, another black guy like gutter trash and no one batted an eye back then, why does it have to be different now?.

It doesn't. Tenpenny treating CJ like crap wasn't even played for laughs. He was literally the main villain of the whole game.

What I don't get is why the cops & Robbers mode had to go away because of one police event in the USA. What about all the other police events that happened around the world, does the rest of the world suddenly not matter to R* or something?.

3D GTA has always been US-centric and George Floyd's murder sparked the biggest protest in decades. Releasing a cops and robbers game mode right in the wake of that would probably be poor taste, like adding a kamikaze mode to GTA3 right after 9/11. Now that I think about it, wasn't flying heavily reduced in that game in response to 9/11? This isn't exactly new then and undermines 3 as some paragon of anticensorship.

Also the focus on a latina protag, why can't we have a male Latin protag, or a Japanese guy?, why does it have to be only female?. It all just feels like a shitty narritive being pushed to get a few good boy points with the Twittersphere (who end up showing us that they hardly even played GTA).

There's nothing saying it can't be, but people have been asking for a female protagonist in GTA since 5 was announced. There's nothing wrong with fulfilling that request.
