Notice the distinction here, though, the whitewashing didn’t hurt the movie, in his estimation- the CONTROVERSY did. So if everyone had just shut up about the problem they still don’t think is a problem, if they hadn’t been so thoroughly called out, hypothetically this movie would have been FINE no problems at all.
