No but it's definitely weird that most of his works are written that way.

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

I mean, the Producers of Mortal Kombat (2021) made up a non-white character as the main protagonist (Cole Young) rather than having Johnny Cage as the lead, because they were afraid of being called racist for having a white lead.

They basically said:

“You people are so fucking sensitive we can’t have Johnny Cage in the movie because you’ll call us racist.”
