Are there any positive non-white characters in the film?
The villains, even the apolitical, money-grubbing, femme fatale character, are all non-white, one of the few black characters in the film is the pathetic whimpering hostage in the hotel sequence, and even Arnold's sidekick, 'Faisal', is played by a Jewish actor rather than an Arab one.
It's almost as if James Cameron was purposefully going out of his way to offend.
