Exactly. The white liberal produces the film that he thinks is so progressive, and green, and most definitely anti-racist. Then the nonwhite liberal can come along and blasts the former liberal’s choice of subject matter. In the end they can both walk away feeling superior, which is all either really cared about in the first place.

Actually it was the white liberal critic who found it to be a white race fantasy. Then the black liberal commenter says, lighten up and don’t do the typical white-person-finds-white-racism-in-the-movie analysis. This was an interesting table turn because it denied the white critic the opportunity to atone for her white guilt by exposing those themes.
