My last words on the topic is that there will always be such issues from time to time because, as you say, film makers borrow all the time from each other. It is my hope that they will take a little extra time to minimize the potential problems their creations can produce.
It’s my hope filmmakers set those concerns aside rather than compromise their creativity in order to satisfy white people who see racism everywhere.
I’ll defer to Dom since he’s the OP, but perhaps this discussion is better suited to the culture/politics thread than this one:
