Unless I am missing the way this sentence is structured, it seems like this reviewer being quoted is saying that the film depicts the white man as racist “Will Heaven of the Daily Telegraph said that the plot line involving people of color who wear “tribal” jewelry while sporting dreadlocked hair, being saved by a noble white man gave the film a “racist subtext” that he found “nauseatingly patronising.”“

If the film depicts white men “saving” these people, people that they, according to the plot line, they want to colonize, then wouldn’t this be a accurate depiction of white racism as an analogy of the early colonization of certain places here in the past?
