Starting out with a blatant falsehood and sweeping generalization is not the best way to make a point about diversity.

but the powers that be believed that our audience was entirely white males and they needed someone that they could identify with on the cover.

Implying everyone who called the shots thought
only white makes played the game is quite different from the powers that be recognizing that the ‘white male’ was a large portion of the market share.
As for the notion that Redgar getting slain repeatedly was racially motivated, those whose job it is to be on the front line, do die a lot.
Also, it generally is safer to depict a male being killed than a female, from a marketing perspective. Depicting a kill on a female runs the risk of someone claiming the art is advocating violence against women. Kerwin got a good amount of abuse too.
