I must admit, the sight of a black man entering a tavern full of white people did not urk me in the slightest. In fact, the thought that it might be odd never even entered my mind and never broke my immersion.

The characters a bland enough that there is plenty to complain about that does not include their race or sexual orientation. Does "race" even apply considering there is literal other races?

This depends entirely on your knowledge. There are people who won't notice a 1970s car in a movie set in 1950s because they don't know anything about cars, and then there are those to whom it's utterly immersion-breaking because the anachronistic car is associated with much later things for them and the mismatch sticks out like a sore thumb.
