I've read some of that same commentary -- and I think there's something to that. People who want to sell entertainment should IMO be sensitive to concerns of that sort. The fact that they can get away without doing so is a testament to the patterns of privilege in the larger society.
M. Night Shyamalan says he just cast the actors he thought best fit each role. Is this a statement about his internalized racism? Since he is Asian-American I have a hard time imagining he just didn't notice.
