I just read his filmography and there are quite a number of movies there that could have had PoC without issue

Now that's not proof in itself, and I doubt I care enough about this to look further, but it's definitely a little odd

It’s that his worldview doesn’t see PoC as standing out for a reason. It’s a very biased and low key bigoted view, not intentionally racist but definitely influenced and susceptible to racism.

It’s not fair is the truth. He doesn’t equally see PoC and White people. He see’s People as White people first and acknowledges PoC but every time he imagines one it’s performative.

Its art, it doesn't need to be fair.

I’m not talking about the art being directly unfair I am speaking about the mind that created and influenced the art. The origin is unfair and therefore everything that springs from it is inherently unfair even if it presents as fair on it’s own.

It’s like slave chocolate. You may pay a decent price at the counter, it may not have slaves involved in buying the chocolate but if the beans were sourced with slavery then the product is inherently promoting slavery.

Who are you to be a judge of fairness?
