I think this article is also an example of the white savior trope. Thanks for helping save writers from creating stories you personally don't like. People seem to enjoy stories and stories usually stem from conflict. Sometimes that conflict comes from a character being in a different world. Occasionally that different world involves race in some way. Some very interesting things happen in those situations. Bad movies are bad movies, but creating dismissive genre titles to serve your theory, then teaching us how to solve it, presumes zero integrity on the part of the writer, regardless of race, sex, religion or shoe size. Movies, like comedy, explore things. Some do it better than others. While we're slagging people's work, let's add "Schindler's List", "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Matrix", "Narcos", "Half Nelson", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Lincoln" to the list. Meanwhile ... to Aqaba!
