It starts with white people idealising their own features. When they think of their own features, they imagine the beautiful ones, such as a narrow nose, larger eyes, etc. Meanwhile, the large number of unfortunate white people with ugly features are ignored.
On the opposite side of that, we have the white people's interpretation of black people, which consists of many features which are generally considered to be ugly, such as the large nose and mouth. Because these features are more commonly found in negroids, and they aren't considered to be pretty by most people, SJW-types started being upset by the black people being portrayed as "ugly".
When people post those older diagrams of how to draw different races, you'll notice that the white person is portrayed as something the upper left corner in pic related. This is a good looking white male, and not representative of the majority of white males. On the other hand, the black male would be portrayed as ugly, with undesirable features, usually somewhat exaggerated from the norm.
See >>3885768, which has clear differences in every feature apart from the nose, which is surprisingly similar to the woman's.
There is a general tendency to put emphasis on the negative features of the non white races, due to the mindset of white people that they themselves are the norm, and all other races are simply deviations from the normal features.
All this caused the (somewhat appropriate) backlash of black people who were upset about their ugly representation. This backlash however went too far, and suddenly it went from "represent us at the same beauty-level as the white people" to "don't draw ANY ugly black people, that's far too unsightly and racist." Unless you're black yourself, or you're drawing in a very realistic artstyle, people will nowadays call you racist for drawing an ugly black person, but drawing an ugly white person will earn you praise.
