I think they called it racist when all the good guys were played by white characters and the 'bad guys' by brown actors. You gotta admit that's kinda akward.
Don't recall it being called racist, as the Indian director chose the ethnicities purposely, I just recall it being called a really bad choice as it would have been one of the first movies that could have had primarily Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan, Inuit/North Mongolian, and one Indian guy cast
