In this article I found a quote by the actor Morgan Freeman and i will paraphrase below.
"I don't have a problem with that. You cannot reasonably ask a white writer to do it differently. Now, if we're going to start citing some unfortunates, it might be unfortunate that a black writer didn't write it, but if a black writer had written it, there's a good chance he wouldn't have found a producer. So there you are. This is a movie that did get made, and a story did get told, and that's what is important."
This is my paraphrase.
I do not have any objection with that. You are not able to acceptably request for a writer to do it in another way. If we are going to talk about mistakes then it is very sad that a black writer did not write it. If a black writer had written it then it would have been hard to find a producer. So that is it. This movie told the story and got made and thats what matters.
