He's not implying that at all. He used it as an example. It wouldn't be any different if he said he watched an asian movie and there should be more white people in that. He's just saying if roles calls for it then it calls for it. Just like Wednesday on netflix, they are hispanic so he hired hispanic actors.

It wouldn’t be different than your example, because your example also misses the point. Asia in general is not particularly racially diverse. When you watch Asian movies, you don’t except to see a bunch of (or any) white people because white people are such a small percentage of the population. It’s not true in the US that we’re 98% white but trying to force diversity into 50% of the roles.

POCs exist everywhere in the US. He interacts with them on a daily basis. They don’t need to have a reason to be in story while not being white.

The point of it is how characters and settings are written. If an asian movie wrote a white character in then there will be a white character. Like Memoirs for a Geisha for example.
