Yeah that's fair, I don't think anyone can reasonably expect perfection.

But the posturing of the two characters evokes a very clear Strong / Weak dichotomy that I feel persecuted groups may not wish to connect with, while feeding into the savior complex of privileged groups.

I still like the overall messaging to privileged groups. It tells them the right thing to do. But I understand why there has been negative feedback from those that are meant to be portrayed by the persecuted character.
