I feel that they're already doing that by eliminating the choice of Hispanic or Latinx options as a race and letting them choose white.

“In a sense, we’re forming a new kind of mainstream society here, which is going to be very diverse,” City University of New York sociologist Richard Alba told the Hill. “But whites are going to be a big part of that.”

To say something like this is insane to me. "Whites" are going to be a big part of mainstream society? "The future is white and we will make sure of it, in the name of diversity."

Now the system can reinforce white supremacy through the co-option of peoples that would have been considered otherwise. This is diversity now sweaty.

You're not wrong about shameless marketing in the form of memes, but whether the intention was a distraction type op or just out of touch marketers trying to recreate the Morbius phenomenom, i dont think we can say. I can also agree that the memes aren't funny at all just like Morbius memes.

The tracking by osmand app doesn't seem to be anything malicious or revealing. Developers, contributors, and users discuss the meaning of the tracking here, which is also referenced in the F-Droid page. After reading some back and forth, the level of privacy or lack of you get from the tracking seems subjective. I personally don't agree with it but its not as nosy as gmaps.

How are magic earth and organic maps any better in respect to privacy or tracking/reporting?
