"This character that was always intended to be white was obviously intended to be hispanic."
I haven't seen the movie yet so I'll drop it but I'm just saying that Damon's casting as well as the fact the population of Elysium isn't as monochromatic as you claim (along with the south Asian president, an Asian woman features prominently in the trailer's introduction of life on the space station) complicates your reading. Some reviewers have actually remarked their disappointment at seeing "just another white guy" as the protagonist.
If a film was going to be so thinly anti-white, why "whitewash" the lead? If the agenda is so plain, which side is the film falling on?
