Is the maid.. you know.. politically correct?
I think this is a commentary replacing majority white productions to include minorities, but if you take a quick look: every female character has been replaced by a male character, none in the reverse. Mom could easily serve as Ursula, or Leela as King Triton, since Fry is decidedly not badass, but here we are.
I can't speak for the comment OP, but personally, I thought the comment was about being able to read it as "slur"-maid, implying they would be using slurs in the movie.
