These idiots don't even seem to be fans of the characters at all, get all their knowledge from Wikipedia, reached a mistaken assumption of what they "should" look like, and started bullying Marvel into compliance. It's insane.
No matter how many times they're told, they won't listen to the facts that Wanda and Pietro weren't originally gypsies, and that it seems to have been a change unintentionally imposed on them after a group of Marvel writers in 1979 wanted to retcon Pietro and Magneto into being related because they both had white hair, and then in the early 80s someone else wrote backstory for Magneto and decided his wife was a gypsy. At no point in these developments was anyone even considering Wanda.
If it had happened today, it would have just generated a lot of "did Marvel just accidentally make Wanda and Pietro gypsies?" articles, but we get people outright lying and pretending they were always supposed to be brown people but colorists were just ignorant.
It's awful that the modern comics are pandering to these assholes, just as it's awful that a lot of people within Marvel can't see past Magneto when it comes to the twins. Even now they're not canonically related, they just won't let it go, mischaracterizing them badly in the process.
There's also the problem that Marvel spent decades trying to keep Wanda and Vision apart, and kept trying to just make her a love interest for various random other characters instead. Some of the people who were in the Creative Committee complained about AoU introducing Wanda and Vision and setting up their romance, then the comics spent years fighting to keep them apart.
